Wyatt's Water Wagon

Looking back through the pictures on my camera, I noticed that I'm a little behind on updating the blog. It seems that lately any free time I have, I spend sleeping! Only 5 more weeks to go before baby Weston arrives...wheww!!! Anyway, we have been pretty busy the past few weeks and I'll try to post some pictures soon. I have pictures from the men and boys retreat Trent took with the boys, a recent zoo trip with our playgroup, a spring fling/candy hunt at church and the beautiful new flower bed that Trent worked so hard to build for me!! But today, I just have to post these super cute pictures of Wyatt. He absolutely LOVES playing in water. I have been wanting to get a water table for them but I think this will work just as well! After watering the flowers this morning, Wyatt starting playing in the small water puddles on the patio. That gave way to a pretty genius idea! (Well, not to some people, but to me it's pretty cool!) I decided to clean out the wagon (which is used by the boys to haul wood, dirt, toys, really anything that they are "helping" us do) and fill it with water. Wyatt thought this was the funnest thing ever!! He spent about an hour and a half playing in the water before I drug him inside to eat lunch! He wanted to save the water for after nap, so I'm sure we'll have more water playtime this afternoon!!

Of course, we had to take his shirt off so he wouldn't get it all wet!

Should have taken the pants and shoes off too, because by the end, they were soaked!!

He would fill the bucket up with water, then dump it out just to refill it again.

He gave his tractors and trucks a bath too!


SPLASH!!

He is having so much fun!!!

And working so hard

This is the first time I told him NOT to drink the water....he was lapping it up like a dog.

Uh-oh, he's on a mission.....

Where is he going?

to the sandbox of course! What good is water without a little sand?!

Here he is "making the dirt all muddy"

The 2nd time I had to tell him NOT to drink the water!! He said, "but its really yummy mommy!" ewwww!

So... if he can't drink it, he might as well dump it on his head!

Gotta cool off after all that hard work!

Next he runs up to me and says, "Hey mom, my hat floats! And the whale is gonna eat it!" I said, "well, you better go rescue it". So he did!
