Water Day

Today was Water Day at school.  Hayden enjoyed herself very much.  The only thing was that water day was pretty much in the shade, so it was a little chilly for the kids.   Mrs. Christie and Mrs. Sue had water tables, a kiddie pool, buckets and paintbrushes...which was actually the most popular, they all pretended to be painting the building, squirt toys, sprinkler, and bubbles,which ended up mixed in with the water and then they painted the building with lots of soap.  There were lots of screaming 4 year olds, but everyone had a great time. 

I even took Gracie in her swimsuit because I figured she would be right in the middle of it, but she wasn't, she was actually kind of shy and hung on to my leg when we first got there.  She finally opened up when Hayden came and asked her if she wanted to go get in the pool.  Gracie decided that the water was way too cold for her, but she did run through the sprinkler a one time.  She mainly enjoyed the painting the building, she had a little yellow sponge that she used.  She would walk back and forth wetting that one little sponge and paint a little bit at a time on the wall.  I guess she may turn out to be more shy than everyone thought...who knows!?!

Hayden chose to wear this gorgeous pink Princess swimsuit today, this is one of 5, yes that is correct 5 swimsuits that Mimi and Pop bought for her this past weekend.  She now has a swimsuit for everyday of the week, well actually I think she has enough from this year and last year that she could wear a different one for a good two weeks.  Oh well, she is always beautiful in them and we do know lots of people with swimming pools!

Here is the Princess running through the sprinkler, I have seen this sprinkler at Wal-Mart for the past couple of years and I think I decided today that we will be buying one.  It was really cute and Hayden had fun!

This is the building that they painted with water and bubbles.  This is when Hayden was trying to convince Gracie to get in the pool. Gracie told her "K" that is how she says "Okay", it really is sweet.  She is always willing to try anything with her big sister.  Doesn't Gracie look adorable in that hot pink and orange swimsuit?

There they go...Gracie wasn't to sure about walking through all of the other people without holding Hayden's hand.  They are just so CUTE!

And here they are making a lap through the sprinkler, this was the ONLY lap Gracie made, but I think it was because they weren't in the sun, so it did feel very cool.  Look at those smiles though.

Hayden and Kierstin were very excited that they had matching towels.  They were so cold they could hardly wait to get inside and change their clothes!

This last picture is proof that Paxton does grab Hayden's clothes on the playground.  Sometimes I don't know if she is telling stories or if it really did happen.  I also know that she has really come out and learned how to take up for herself.  When Paxton grabbed her she looked at him very seriously and said "let go of me now...You are going to mess up my new shirt" and he let go, and even though she took care of it herself, when she realized I was watching the whole thing, she came over to tell on Paxton and I told her that I thought she did an excellent job of handling the situation!  I am so glad that she doesn't let everyone run all over her...at the first of the school year she was too scared to say anything and she would just cry! 

Tomorrow is the last day of Preschool.  Until Tomorrow...
