Outdoor times!

The rain has finally stopped and we are living outside for probably 5-6 hours everyday.  Emma loves to help me water flowers, weed and pick up sticks in the yard.  We have a rain barrel and she is addicted to filling her watering can...gets so excited she can't wait for her can to fill up.

 

Gramma Cheryl bought her a water table that Doug set up this week and within 10 minutes Emma had herself completely drenched..more water was on her and the deck than stayed inside the water table.  To say she loves the water table is an understatement.

 

Today is Memorial Day and we are spending most of the day outdoors, despite the 90 degree temps.  Emma was helping Doug wash and wax the cars this morning before it got too warm and I think we are going to bust out the sprinkler after nap time.  Emma is getting ready to have her nap now, but I brought her inside for a few minutes to cool down.

 

In a few weeks, we are having a new deck built and I am positive we are going to live on the new deck this summer, playing with the water table and sitting in the baby pool.  Emma starts her pool lessons next week and hopefully she is still as much as a water baby as she was in Hawaii last September.  Only a few more months and we will have been a family of 3 for a year now...what a difference a year makes!
