Messy Fun!

Recently I set up a "Water Day" for my kids in the backyard. We totally stole this idea from the "Water Day" our preschool has for the kids at the end of each school year! I am thankful for a fun, free way to entertain the kids on a hot summer day!


13 Activities we did for "Water Day":

1. Ran through the sprinkler
2. Painted with shaving cream
   
3. Added food coloring to the shaving cream
4. Mixed colors to see what new colors we could make
   
5. Coated themselves in the shaving cream
6. Sprayed each other with the hose
7. Washed their outdoor vehicles
8. Washed waterproof baby dolls
9. Colored with chalk on the driveway
10. Washed themselves
11. Converted our swing set slide to a water slide by running the hose down it
12. Went down the super fast slide
    

When the hose was finally turned off the kids discovered more fun. Mud was left behind!

13. Played in the mud!

I was so busy taking pictures of my boys in the mud that I hadn't noticed my daughter was missing; she had played in the mud for about 20 seconds, whined about being dirty, and then left. I found her sitting on the patio bathing herself in this red bucket!

Over and over again she washed her legs in that bucket. Much happier with the water than the mud!

Anyone still think there is no difference between boys and girls?
