Cole and the "Sprinkle"

I am quickly learning that life is much more, um, eventful with 2 children! Just the simple task of getting out of the house takes hours, and I'm not exaggerating! 2 baths to give, 2 outfits to put on, several diaper changes and feedings, oh yeah, and I have to get ready somewhere in the midst of it all...it's exhausting! But, always fun and adventurous. I really needed to go to Wal-Mart to pick up some things today, so we all got ready to go. As I'm walking out of the house carrying Raleigh in her car seat and diaper bag over my shoulder, I tell Cole, "Do NOT run to the side of the house!" You see, he has discovered the water hose is over there and boy is it fun to play in!! He calls it the "sprinkle;" it's his word for sprinkler. Well, of course he does not listen; he's 2 1/2 and doesn't listen to anything! :) Now, naive as I am, I think to myself there's no way he can turn the water hose on, right?! WRONG!!! I hear him yell as I am getting Raleigh in the car, and look over to my son who is soaking wet!!! He laughs and says, "Momma, I'm all wet!!" Yes, so I noticed! So, back in the house we all go to change Cole's outfit.

So, we did make it to Wal-Mart eventually. I needed to get him out of the house; he gets very stir crazy, especially now that I have to spend a lot of time taking care of Raleigh. So, we went outside this afternoon and let him and the "sprinkle" have at it. Very cute, I must say. Even though he tried several times to soak me and Forrest (poor dog, he was traumatized!) it was fun to watch him just be a 2 year old. Enjoy this video!

She's not happy to be outside!!!
