Soaked!

The other day I had found some water guns in the dollar bins at Target. Landon really wanted them, so I gave in and let him get them. 

He was very excited when his brothers got home from school and wanted to go outside to play with them. So I helped them all fill up their water guns and sent them out in the backyard to play with them. Less then a minute later they were back in to fill up their guns again! We filled them up and they went back outside again. Less then ANOTHER minute later they were back in for another refill. 

Seeing that this was going to be a recurring thing and it would drive me insane, I got the genius idea of giving them a bucket of water and told them to just keep dunking their guns in that to fill them up. I came back inside content with my genius idea and got to doing some chores in the kitchen. (which by the way looks out to my whole backyard.)

After a few minutes of listening to their joyous laughter outside, I look out to check on them and see them completely soaked.... each one of them! Apparently I was too trusting to think that 3 little boys would just use the bucket full of water to fill up those little water guns. They quickly moved onto bigger and better things and started using the bucket to pour on each other.  It was kind of a hot day, so it probably felt good.

I just laughed and let them keep on drenching one another with the bucket while I finished up my cleaning. Then I got them all towels and told them to lay on the patio to dry off for a few minutes.

They thought they'd be cool and try to get a tan as well. 

Thanks to a hot sun and dry desert heat, they were mostly dry in no time and came in to change and get to home work. 

They had tons of fun!

I foresee many more water fights in their future over the hot hot summer!
