Puddle-jumpers...

Last night while James went to pick up our "home-cooked" meal from Cracker Barrel the kids decided they wanted to play outside. Since it was still like 98 degrees even at 7:00 at night I thought I would spray them with the water hose while sitting with my feet up on the park bench. I finally had had enough of getting sprayed myself (the wind kept blowing the water back onto me instead of just them) I turned the water off and told them to jump in the puddles instead. Well, I'm sure you've heard it said before..."It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." That was certainly the case last night...as you can see both kids are happily jumping in puddles and laughing and playing and then next thing I knew Addison tripped over the hose skinned her knee and her big toe which made our lovely summer evening of splashing fun go from happy to complete hysterics and lots of tears in a matter of seconds. Oh well...some pancakes and an ice pack seem to have taken care of the worst of it, but she'll have another scraped up knee and didn't even get it sliding into 1st base this time! :)
