Memorial Day, 2010.
Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 9:27PM Here's hoping you enjoyed a nice holiday weekend--we certainly did.
One of the most entertaining and memorable events was a water fight. Our next-door neighbors host a cookout each year over Memorial Day weekend. And last year, their son and our two oldest got into a rather prolonged water fight. There has been much talk of a rematch.
Even little William was called into action--after one or two lessons on the proper way to grip a water gun. Such a natural...
Good neighbor friends were drafted to join our side...
and Charlie was recruited to keep the armory stocked and offer strategic tips...
What's that? Elaborate you say? All this for a child's game?
Oh, right.
I should mention, then, that the opponents were twenty-something-year-olds...
Sneaky twenty-something-year-olds. With impressive and relentless aim...
The battle lasted a couple of hours, easy. And oh goodness, did our boys ever sleep well that night. We're pretty certain we know of what they dreamt...next Memorial Day cannot come soon enough.
Hooray for summer! And double hooray for full-grown children who get wet and messy, happily entertaining the kidlets. And who wisely know not to douse the dressed up mommy trying to document it all from the front lines (though I don't suppose I would have minded...)
xoxo, Sandra

Sandra,
These pictures are amazing! Your boys couldn't be more adorable. And apparently you know what you're doing behind a camera :-) I always love looking at your blog. Someday I'll try to put some of your ideas to use...
Ciao,
