First Day In Our New Backyard

Yes, we have been living here for 3 weeks now, and yes, this is the first opportunity we have had to enjoy our first back yard!

It has been so miserably hot since we moved in. It is even too hot and humid early in the mornings to really enjoy any play time.

But, it was nice enough today to get out there!

Gracie wanted to do the Clifford sprinkler that mommy scored from a thrift store not long before we moved. And, while it was nicer outside, it was still plenty hot for water fun.

Thomas was not as much of a fan of the sprinkler, so mommy helped him find a different water activity that was a little more his pace.

The kids had a blast getting soaking wet this afternoon.

We stayed out for a little over an hour and then I think they were both over being wet and sticky with freshly cut grass.

While I am still terribly "home-sick," the joys that this large fenced in yard will bring does my heart good.

We hope you are all enjoying the last days of summer, if you have them! Many friends and their kids have already returned to the classroom. I know Gracie is anxious and ready to go back to school, but I am glad that we don't start until September here. I would much rather Gracie go until mid-June, than have to be on that bus and at recess in the horrible temperatures we have been having.

But, if you have already started school--maybe you could still get out the water toys when you get off the bus.
