Summer in April, Slip and Slides, and Grapes!

If I didn't know it by looking at the calendar, I would say it has felt like mid July around here with our temperature being in the upper 90's for the last few days. We got a jump start into the summer activities, and got out the slip n' slide Mommy bought on clearance last year.

Calum pretending to go on the potty. We tried out big boy underwear just for fun, and he loved feeling like a big boy. He kept trying to go pee-pee, and when nothing would come out he would get off the potty and say "not yet mama".

Who knew a slide n' slide could double as a colander?

Step one: Spray grapes down the conveyor. If they are too heavy, split them in half. This makes them move faster...
Ahh a little unexpected water in the face... I hate it when that happens!

I learned all my grape inspecting skills by watching my big brother.

The grape inspectors hard at work!

I was amazed at how long my boys were outside today doing this. As they did we were busy creating stories about being grape inspectors, what grape inspectors do, the difference between a good grape and a bad grape, where the grapes would go, who we could sell them to...and on.... and on. It was quite creative and entertaining! Evan of course came up with the whole idea of washing them by spraying the elephant nose sprinkler on them, watching them slide down he cracks of the slide, and the hours of entertainment went from there!
