Water play

The boys love playing with water out on the balcony.  They ferry their little buckets from the sink in the bathroom to outside, pouring the water from vessel to vessel, splashing around, and watching it drop down. 

So it was with some interest that I noticed the other morning that they were ferrying bucket after bucket of water, not outside, but into their bedroom.  Then, sounds of great merriment ensued.  I had no choice but to tiptoe in with my camera.

I see they have a towel very neatly laid out for exiting from their bath or swimming pool or ocean. They were thinking ahead.

Happiness is little boys, water and a tub!

This picture is priceless and tells such a cute story!

(I’ll bet it was Amiri’s idea to take a bath in their bedroom.)

First, the brothers empty the toys in the storage bin: cows, lions, monkeys, turtles, blankets, yellow ducks, etc.,

Then the bin is converted into a tub with the boys' WATER FERRY EXPRESS…

Finally the brothers wiggle and giggle their way into the tub. Now all they need is to add the magic goldfish and some rubber duckies!

Allie, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful peeks into your lives!

It is impossible to have a bad day when you see these pictures. They are very resourceful young boys. Love to you all.

Ahh yes water and buckets and merriment in a kid's room! At one point, shampoo was added by my daughter and oh the mess it created. Good job Amiri and Arram - planning ahead to avoid trouble.

Auntie Dianne-- You're exactly right, that's just how it happened! Since then I actually have bought them some rubber ducks... uh oh...:-)

Aunt McKenzie-- They have so many smiles that they're happy to give them away.

Saimi Auntie-- Glad to hear my kids aren't the first ones to think of this!!
