There are only two options when it comes to surviving Texas summers. Stay inside, or stay wet. When you have 4 kids and live in a 1500 sq ft house, staying inside just might send Momma to crazytown. So get out there and turn on the hose!
After the sprinkler loses it's initial charm, it might take a little more creativity to encourage lots of outdoor time. The wagon didn't actually need scrubbing, but it's sure sparkling now!
This is actually not the first time we've used this trick. They were so little back then!
Soapy water and free time to play just never seem to lose their charm.
Once you're nice and damp, you can stay outside as long as you want.
Have some lunch on the back porch,
or read a book in the shade,
or enjoy baby snuggles on the picnic blanket.
I think that's our favorite.
Are you having a good summer so far? How are you surviving the heat?
