Water Games

Summer doesn't technically start for another week and half-ish, but mine starts as soon as summer visitation with Ali gets here and that, my friends, was yesterday. I had to run to Walmart and get groceries (yeah yeah, I know... I hate that place, too) and while I was there decided to get some water toys: hose, sprinkler, and water guns! Ali was excited, too.

Yes, I call him Fuzzy Husband... 

As soon as I got home and the groceries were put up, the water games were ON. Ali filled up all the water guns and started shooting Jordan as soon as they got outside. Jordan, of course, didn't like it. "NOOO ALLLII!!" he screamed. He would cry every time she shot him until we taught him how to work his own little pistol, and then he shot everything. Including me.

You see that little cloud looking thing next to her feet?
Yeah.. that's the sprinkler.

The sprinkler I bought was pretty much a dud. I guess that's what I get for paying only a dollar. We had to refill the water guns about 400 times, and once I even performed a mommy ninja sneak attack on them with all 6 guns at once. Of course... Ali saw me and so the only one I was actually able to shoot was Jordan, which prompted another, "NOOOO MOMMMYYY!!! MY ORANGE GUN!!"

Sneak attack!!

They played in the water for about an hour and a half until they both decided they couldn't go another second without food.

In other news, Jordan is supposed to be potty training right now. Want to know how many times he's actually peed in the potty in the past two weeks? ZERO. He'll sit on it for a while, sure. But as soon as he actually gets the urge to go, he'll ask for a diaper. We've tried making it fun, letting him stand up, putting him on the big potty... we even tried to bribe him with money (which he normally goes for) and still aren't having any luck. Well.. they say when they're ready it's a piece of cake. But the question is: Is my stubborn little boy every really going to be ready? Hmmmm...

Yep, I'm going to be the mom sending her kid to kindergarten in pull-ups.
