Slip Sliding Away


On Monday, without planning on it, Josh created a impromptu slip'n'slide for the kids. They had so much fun. It was pretty cute. Josh has all this black plastic that he uses in the garden to burn off weeds etc . . . well he had it all spread out on our front lawn to hose it down so he could fold it up to store until he needs it again. Our front yard has a slight slope . . . first the kids just thought it was funny to get Josh to spray them, but soon the kids had stripped down (Maisie changed into a swim suit) and Josh had squirted soap all over the plastic to make it more slippery and the kids were going for it. Instant fun. Here are some pictures . . .





My dad used to make impromptu slip n slides for us as well! It's amazing how that could entertain us for hours!
I'm so excited for Masie's reading progress. It's great to hear that she is so self-motivated about her learning. Reading is such a huge step in the learning process. Now what you have to worry about is getting her to shut the book and go to sleep!
