Who Needs a Hose When You Have God?

The kids have found something even better than getting wet with the hose- playing in the rain.  We had a garage sale this past weekend and both days were abruptly interrupted by torrential rains- they didn't last long, but what they lacked in duration, they made up for in intensity.  The three younger kids however, found the rain to be utterly and completely enjoyable.  In fact, they couldn't understand why the adults were running to their cars and not stopping to play with them.

We should all find such joy in simple things

The Rest of the Story

From Wordless Wednesday-

D is obsessed with the hose (or more accurately, spraying people with the hose). The other morning she and K snuck out the back door and within minutes we hear these squeals of joy, giggling (both from D) and this sound that sounds like joy and terror all at the same time (from K) B went out to save her but by then she was right in the thick of things laughing her head off a she ran from her sister. And judging by how wet D is, K must have had a turn with the hose as well

Of course the game ended after K managed to get the hose (and go in the house WITH it). I think she is trying to keep D out but since we only barely dodged the water "bullet" with D we decided it was time to take the hose away from the door and away from the children
