Water..
Today was water. I think we are discovering all the elements one at a time. :)
W had the hose which is not unusual at all. I was watering the garden and he wanted a turn. Well I came in to fix a drink and he drenched the wood floor right inside the door. I took control of the hose and asked what he was trying to do. I knew it was an accident. He wanted to make a waterfall down the stairs and then make a river out of the rock on our garden path. No problem. I held the hose in place and watched him work. He carved a small river, then his sister K came out and made a fork in the rock river to make two rivers. Then T came out and sured up the side and worked on being the civil engineer to repare any weak areas and then decided to see what would float down the river. We tried a popped ballon, and a lego. They went a little. Then K came over and put a very small twig in and it floated right on top for quite a while. W was still desiging his rivers, going out about 15 feet or more and then got creative making it go under the minivan.
Everyone worked together and had very much fun. While the hose was out they decided to use the balloons that were in their easter baskets for water balloons. It is so much fun watching W roll his balloon down the street and it doesn't pop. It looks like bowling. He tries so hard to pop it. T wanted his filled all the way up and was exploring the patterns the balloons made as they popped on the street. The third balloon didn't even make it to the street though because it popped all over him as he carried it down the driveway! K decided to keep her share until "the brothers" had used all theirs and then she popped them in the street.
All together we had a ton of fun today. Even this morning after the egg hunt we emptied the eggs and hid them over and over and over. They didn't tire of it and the joy on their faces was wonderful.
