It's Tuesday.... when does school start back again?!?!

It's the second full week of summer and already I'm counting the days until school starts. The kids are always bored and never have enough toys to keep their attention. Hmmm if you could see their playroom I doubt you would believe it either. Marie is always bored and wanting to do something else. Today we started out with therapy for Ryan and we played outside the whole time. She brought over the cutest little doggy sprinkler that she bought at Cracker Barrel. (Think I may have hubby stop in to their place in Ormond to check it out!) The kids had such a ball with that. Okay, everyone but Logan enjoyed the sprinkler. He didn't want to get near it and hung out at the swingset up on the perch where he could watch everything without getting wet.

After they played with the sprinkler we got the slip-n-slide out and they all loved playing on it. Logan finally came down off his perch and would walk on it. Marie had been sliding down the slide and slipping over the end of the slip-n-slide. After she gave that up and started playing with the sit-n-spin Logan decided he wanted to slide down and across the water. He really had fun with that and would giggle and grin the whole time. I stuck the hose to the sit-n-spin so Marie could play with Ryan and Katie. Katie still isn't into that as the water is too intense for her but Ryan loved it and even wanted to do it by himself. Too cute! After two hours in the hot mid day sun we gave up and went in for some lunch. They have been eating non-stop since we got everyone changed and dry!

I'd say that the morning festivities were a hit with all of them; now if I can get them calmed and quiet for the afternoon movie that will make for an almost perfect day. How could it be perfect you ask? We'd have Daddy home and playing right along with us! Speaking of Daddy, he plans on taking Marie and going to an Astros game in Tampa this weekend. We haven't told her the plans because we want her to be surprised. I'm so excited for them; wish I could go too but I don't think the other kids would enjoy it as much. Maybe in a couple of years, when the kids can sit still for more than one minute at a time and if the Astros come back this way!
