A Perfect Day

We've been having a lot of these perfect days lately.  I'm really loving that our family is just happy spending the whole day together.  A couple Saturdays ago, Roy spoiled the kids with fun hats, which they wore through all of our errands that morning.  It was so fun.  Sam especially loves his hat.  

He kept piling hats on his head, which reminded me of the "Caps for Sale" book we read recently.

 She ended up picking a different hat, but this pose was way too cute.

That afternoon, we washed the cars (which the kids love to do and request we do frequently).  Even Lydia got in on the fun this time.  They all did some scrubbing, but did end up a little distracted by the hose.  And the sprinkler.  And attacking each other with water.  There was lots and lots of laughter.  And lots of moments of being grateful for these perfect moments.


This Sam attack captured a hilarious moment.  The third picture in the series is my favorite.  Just check out Abby's pose:


 


And just because washing the car and playing in the sprinklers wasn't enough water time, we filled up the pool in the back and played before and after dinner.  By that point, all the swimsuits were wet and the parents were tired of changing and rechanging kids so we let them just take off their shorts and play half-naked.


 Check out that diaper!

Love the pictures and descriptions of the fun activities you've had. I'm glad you appreciate those perfect moments now, and not 20 years down the road when they are just a memory.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Lydia's bubble butt in the last picture! haha! I hope it didn't explode!!
