Backyard Bathing

The kids have been spending a lot of time in the backyard, latley, since the weather has been so nice.
Their current favorite thing to do is play with bubbles in the water table. 



 Sometimes they play with cars or plastic characters in the bubbles.  Sometimes it is Barbie and her mermaid friends having a pool party.  Sometimes they just get rags and sponges and "wash" their bikes and the slide.  Sometimes they wash themselves or make bubble beards. 

If they stay out there long enough, Corbin inevitably finds the hose and convinces one of his sisters to turn on the water.
He sprayes everyone down.
I hear screaming and squealing.
Everyone ends up soaked and blames someone else for "getting them soakin' wet". 
I shrug and figure soap + water counts for a bath.  They come in and put on dry pajamas and we call it good. 

PS- chickens do not like being bathed with bubble water by children.
In case you were wondering.
PPS- my favorite things about these pictures are Quincy's flip flops on the wrong feet and her hand selected white on white outfit with her shorts rolled 3 times at the waist.
