1st Popsicle

I had a great day with the kids today. You know one of those days where the weather is great and the kids listen and cooperate and actually play really nice together. We were supposed to finish our refi paperwork today but they are still looking over stuff so that was cancelled. I wanted to get out and let Austin play but was not ready to go to the park yet so instead we went to the mall so he could play and I could do a little shopping- I was pretty good- I did buy a few things on sale at gymboree but they were all on sale for cheap and then I had a 30% off coupon so they were great deals (like an outfit for next fall for Austin for $3.50) I really try not to go into gymboree to much because I could do serious damage but there stuff lasts and washes better than anything else we have so every once and a while it is nice. After the mall Austin had a short nap then t was time to go get Allie. I had decided today would be a perfect day to let the kids play in the sprinkler in the back yard because Allie keeps asking to swim at my mom's but it is still too cold. Allie was really wanting to go to the park again so we did that for about half an hour and then went home which is where the real fun began. I wish I had pictures of them but my camera is dead and I was having so much fun watching them play I did not want to worry about it. I am sure there will be plenty of time for pics again soon. Anyways Allie has this hopscotch mat that hooks up to the hose and shoots out water. So we hooked it up and I let the two of them have at it. The had a complete blast. Austin would just squeal with joy every time the water would get on him and the Allie would jump on the mat making the water splash even more and he would squeal all over again. It was so cute. I will really have to try and tape them next time. After a while in the water I noticed the yard was getting swampy (it was still wet from all the rain we have been getting) so I decided to turn of the water and give them both Popsicles. This was Austin's 1st time and he was so cute. He was not to sure at first but quickly realized it was good. He had red Popsicle all over his mouth, hands, arms, and stomach, not to mention the table. It was great, after the Popsicles I hosed them both off again and we went in to clean up so we could go out to eat for dinner. Anyways it was a great afternoon. I am really looking forward to this summer to having them both home with me on my off days again. I am sure we will be doing this again, and I will try and get pics then.
