Let's get wet

I've been saying all week that I would have the girls play with water outside. I finally followed through on my words this morning. I took a trip to walmart last night to buy water balloons at 930-only because Ryan forgot and I really didn't want to disappoint Isabelle. 

Now, I have to say-water balloons are meant to be filled outside on the spigot. NOT a kitchen sink. Living in an apartment I didn't think we had one out in the court yard. Well-we do. As i found out after getting everything outside and in place!

So I took the time to jimmy rig the thing that goes on the faucet to fill the actual balloon to the sink. It took me over an hour to fill up enough to be happy with the amount. 

That being said (and really besides the point too) the girls really had fun! 

My mom insists I need to send this next photo to Ellen. She thinks it looks like Viola is in a trash can. I assure you these are their toy buckets! 

It's the impromptu pool for the apartment living life style! :-) 

This is Viola trying to throw one of her balloons. It's funny because she gets it but didn't at the same time. 

This water day lasted forever. 

What kid doesn't love getting wet and running around! 

 I can PROUDLY say that Viola crashed hard at nap time (3.5 hrs!). 

We watch Ellen every day. This is how Isabelle watched:

Doesn't everyone wear a swim diaper as a cap to watch her? 

Safety first I guess! 

Oh and even though he didn't get wet he joined in the swim suit wearing fun! 

Henry's sisters got playful with him too. Just a little bit of fun! :-) 

We venturerd back outside to collect rocks. As Isabelle says we are adding to her collection! :-)

This day flew by! Tomorrow will be fun! My sister is going to spend time with us and I don't think the girls are excited enough! 

Until tomorrow!
