Yesterday was a good old fashioned day in the yard. Can't you just remember running through the sprinklers, playing on the slip-n-slide and having water balloon fights like it was yesterday? I bet our parents didn't watch us thinking, holy crap we are stealing the dolphins water and those balloons and that slip-n-slide, my God what landfill. I did my best to push those thoughts aside for a few hours of fun with the boys. 

It is a treat to watch them all play together and laugh.  Even KeenanKeenan aka: Kman
Age: 14
"Special" Qualities: Door slamming, stomping and eye rolling (can do it all in one impressive motion).
Best Qualities: The softest kindest heart, hysterical and quite charming when he tries. graced us with his presence for a short time.  Aren't we so lucky that he could drag his butt off the sofa to enjoy some time with his brothers. AND he even LAUGHED. Who knew we could be so much fun.

Look at the joy on their faces as they bomb each other with water balloons.  All these years I have been screaming at them to stop fighting.  Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Run Forest RUN!!

The Holy Grail of summer fun.

More please!

Is that joy or did I miss a rock?

I am sure by now you are all thinking to yourself...something's missing.

The world has been righted.
