Summer, Outside.

Go away! I love ya, but go outside and burn some energy over there rather than tearing through the house! Get the hose and make a big mess outside! That's the place to be yelling and screaming, and you can water the grass and flowers while you're out there. It's almost as though you're working or something. The porch doesn't need watering, though, guys. When you come in, take off everything and throw it into that bucket. Bath time for little kids and shower for G! Elf and Emperor are now trying to do their own baths. I have a post-it note over the faucet that tells them to pull the plug and get shampoo, rinse, etc. in order. Until a couple of weeks ago, I had been giving them their baths together. It's time to learn how to bathe before winter when mistakes or instruction review would be a cold experience.
