Swimming pool substitute

We’ve been having really warm, sunny weather here lately and so the boys have been playing out back in the sprinkler quite a bit. In lieu of a swimming pool, they have been filling a bucket with cold water. Then they take turns seeing who can stand in it the longest, and then who can sit in it the longest. Remember that it’s very, very cold water! They love having contests like this to prove who is the bravest.

The other day, this game eventually evolved into “Let’s catch some bugs, throw them into the water and do tribal dances around the bucket.”

About Anna

I've been married to my college sweetheart for 17 years and we've been in full or part time ministry ever since. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools our oldest son (11) while our youngest son (9) attends public school. Having adopted both our kids, we are big fans of adoption. My oldest has Asperger's Syndrome and my youngest has been diagnosed with a mood disorder, possibly bi-polar. I also have two long-haired dachshunds that I adore - Eli and Graham. I enjoy camping, watching movies, listening to and singing all types of music, and just spending time together with my precious family.
