Summer fun

It's so dang hot again that I can't stand it. I finally spent some time outside this evening once the sun started going down. Andy loves to water my flowers, so he had the hose. He moved from the flowers to the trees. Emma had a sudden fit of 5 year old bossiness, so she went over to supervise. Instead of the usual fight, Andy just turned and sprayed her with the sprinkler. And instead of her usual dramatic wail, she actually giggled. This turned into an impromptu sprinkler session. They took turns spraying each other with the hose. It was so cute. The sun was setting. We had the tiki torches lit around the patio. The air was filled with sounds of laughing kids. If only I could bottle it and replay on rainy days when they're fighting non-stop.

Mine are 9 and 2.5. Yes, it's those rare moments that really carry me thru. Good for you for seeing this moment for what it was. It even made me smile.
