While our friends and family back home in Indiana are barely a week out from the latest (and last??) snow shower, we are well into the heat of what feels like SUMMER here. Good Friday was hot and sunny and we had the day off from school. After spending some time in Daniel’s neighborhood in the morning (more about that in another post), it was refreshing in more ways than one to have a simple task like washing the truck turn into a raging water war among our four kids and my three “Haitian sons” – Ruysdael, Johnny, and Mikenn.It started with a simple chore request from Melissa: “Somebody” needs to wash the truck. Our kids decided they should put on swimsuits since the work might get a bit wet.I drove the truck around to the back of the house, broke out some rags and borrowed a hose from the Bundy’s next door. For the first few minutes of the job, some actual work got accomplished.
And Caleb broke out a water gun …
All downhill from there!
For well over an hour.Finally, Melissa called a truce for some freezer pops. (Looks like Caleb is experiencing a bit of brain freeze here!)
But then out came the water balloons!
