So it has been HOT here. Like hot enough that I even admit it is hot. ;) So this weekend, we got a hose for the backyard and a sprinkler for the kids to play around in. Nora is a huge fan of being surprised by cold water, so she loves this. Jonah does a bit of running through it, too, although he is most excited about playing ‘sprinkler ball’, a game that is suspiciously like baseball but involves pitching, hitting, and running – – through spraying water(!)
First, some pictures of our little waterbug.
And she’s old enough to really play now. So much fun and cuteness!
The kids had fun playing in their rooms – building train tracks, playing with dolls, and just being silly. It was great to watch Phoebe ask Nora to play and have Nora go off down the hall with her, and they would just figure out stuff to do together.
There were also a few rounds of popsicles, since it was basically in the 90s for most of the visit.
We went to the park to ride bikes, but Phoebe was suddenly not interested in biking. No worry, Jonah, Uncle Jonathan will race you!
There was a lot of sndbox playing as well. Phoebe helped with a bunch of scooping and stirring for Nora’s ‘recipe’ and Nora baked it up on her legs. Nice job, Nora…
Jonah and Phoebe worked together to make “the biggest mountain ever.”
And of course, the obligatory cousin photo shoot which mostly ended in pretty hilarious combinations of expressions.
As the baseball season continues (and winds down), Jonah is enjoying his playing a lot. He’s getting better at the game too! Here’s his at-bat from yesterday’s game:
