Summer time, summer time, sum, sum, summer time!

Summertime is apparently my blog slacking time...can you tell? Summertime is also the time for freezie pops and sprinklers around our house. We have had a lot of rain this summer but the last couple of days have been scorchers and the grass has dried out quickly so I pulled out the trusty old tractor sprinkler. Of course, the kids just haaad to put on their swimming suits so they could run through it. I think Grant was channeling a little Steve Urkel here!At least it was Grant's plan to run through. Audrey...she is always a little more skeptical of the whole idea.Charge!
Grant ran in balls to the walls but Audrey just stood back and was like, 'Uh-uh! My Mama didn't raise no fool!"
Grant was all, "Oh, but Audrey it is fun. Common. I'll go with you. See. It's not so bad." And And Audrey was like "Yeah, whateva Dude!"
Since Grant's attempt with Audrey was failed, I guess he figured 'Why not see if Roxy will go with me?"
As you can see, Roxy was like "No way...notachance!"
Audrey did finally cave to the peer pressure and ran in a little ways...lovin' every minute of it as you can see!
Grant made pass after pass through the ice cold water until he could run no more.
Then he got the bright idea to turn the water off so that the sprinkler would 'pee' water until the pressure went down. Then back on and off and on and off...
His next bright idea was to hold onto the sprinkler and try to 'block' the water. How do you think that went for him???
Another bright idea to try to spray Mom. NOT a good choice!
Sissy just stood back in the wings and watched the show.
Meanwhile, Roxy emerged as 'Swamp Thing' after a leisurely dip in the pond.
I love this next picture of her. Audrey thinks she looks scary but I think it is pure beauty.
More of the sprinkler being turned off and on and Audrey running away squealing in delight.
She is still a little apprehensive, but...
...I think she has a new love for the sprinkler.
Just like her big brother!
One last sip before we go!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have spent a good part of today editing some baby belly and beach bum pictures I took of my friend, Lisa and her son Gage. They turned out super cute but I have to check with her before I share any as I am not sure how private she wants to be with them. I have lots of pictures from the last few weeks to share as well so I better get my butt in gear posting them before they are a month old! Oh, and I am doing a photo shoot of a friend of a friend's 3 girls this week too, so excited!
