Soap and Spit

Little boys are so predictable. 

After all, have you EVER met a little boy that didn't think that spitting was funny? It's just like farting noises. Or poop. Or anything involving butts or bodily noises.

Wait, let me backtrack.

The boys are still sick. Horrible, coughing, never-ending snot sick. Which also equates to them being crabby, tired and impossible to please. So we stayed indoors and let them veg and watch tv all day. 

Until about 2:30 rolled around at I see that it is a stunning 82 degrees with a lovely cool ocean breeze. Sorry, but "inside" on a day like today is illegal in this household. So I forced Calen to go outside and play, which he wasn't very interested in. Until I bribed him. 

"Calen, want to have bubbles in your swimming pool?"

"YEAH OKAY!!" and suddenly he's across the room pounding on the back door. 

A winner is me. 

pool + soap + hose = outside fun

So we put some dish soap in the pool and created a bubble pool. Calen liked washing his cars and giving all of his toys a "bath." And the important part? It kept him outside. 

One of Calen's favorite pastimes when involving the garden hose is drinking out of it. (hey, who doesn't?). He was drinking out of it today, business as usual, but then he suddenly decided to spit it out across the deck.

Spitting. And laughing.

Not just spitting, but spewing as far as he could, while making "raspberry" noises as loud as he possibly could.

And then laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. 

Rinse, repeat. Over and over. And laughing each time. 

See what I mean? Little boys are SO predictable. 

....spitting is SO funny
