Boys...

I love the way little boys think.

I've got it!

Let's empty all the contents of the bins and buckets in the garage.

Then let's drag the hose through Mom's flower bed and make it "rain".

You cover me up, then I'll cover up myself.

After all, we don't want to get wet.

They played like this for an hour before I finally snuck outside to snap some photos. These are the photos Cooper will look back on someday with a smile. Oh the things I did when I was five!

Thanks to a recent bathroom renovation (that's not quite finished!) I could take my own photo in the large mirrors waiting patiently to be hung. A grown up Coop will probably remember Mom with her camera crouching behind a bush or sitting on the driveway, happily snapping away while the kids played.

Two happy boys, even after they noticed a girl had invaded the front yard water party!
