This is a daily event for little man, infact these pictures were taken just a few minutes ago. We can't have a pool and there isn't any outside faucets so I fill up buckets with water and he plays til I make him come in. There is even an ice chaest that I fill up too. LOL!!

From outside. He has tube water squirters that I get at the Dollar Tree.

cjomomma 07-10-2011 02:12 PM

Thank you everyone! He always has fun when water is involved.

dakotamaid 07-10-2011 02:13 PM

I'm a farm girl and this is how we played in the mud! He looks like he is having a blast.:)

a friend just called me from Texas and has had temps of 110 F.!!!

grammyp 07-10-2011 03:45 PM

Sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon to me. And a great way to get the flowers watered.

Great to see a happy, healthy kid, outside having fun. Way better than being parked in front of the TV or with a game console.

Isn't that the truth!!

blueangel 07-10-2011 07:59 PM

Any way to stay cool.

leiladylei54 07-10-2011 08:15 PM

What great child's play!!! Oh I wanna play, too!!! LOL

Krystyna 07-11-2011 03:18 AM

He sure looks like he's having fun!

MoMoSews 07-11-2011 06:46 AM

OH, he is just so cute!!!

luvstoquilt 07-11-2011 06:49 AM

Very creative! He is adorable and that looks like fun. I could get into that myself! You are a great mom!

Nolee 07-11-2011 07:05 AM

We only had large tin buckets when we were kids and I don't remember ever being upset at not having a pool. It was the water that made us happy, not how much there was of it.

Little man looks like he is having a ball keeping cool. That's all the counts, Carrie. You're a good Mom.

Ugh, you can keep that. 90 here today, 77 tomorrow. I love living in the Northeast. I'll take the snow anyday over those high temps. I don't know how you exist in it.

oma66 07-11-2011 07:18 AM

oh, my goodness, I remember days like that with my three brothers. We made our own fun outside. We did not have any toys and in the summer we had fun in a big water barrels that collected water under the eaves. We made bow and arrows, bowling games on the lawn with soda bottles and a ball, we had squirt guns that lasted for years and years. Oh, those were the days.....

lyndad 07-11-2011 07:18 AM

Just goes to show you, you don't have to have a fancy pool to have fun. Handsome young man.

JudieRQuilting 07-11-2011 07:20 AM

Good for you! Kids don't need expensive toys and gadgets to have fun. The imagination is always the best resort.

lorimax5859 07-11-2011 07:57 AM

Very cute little guy. Thanks for posting.

jeannie t 07-11-2011 08:03 AM

looks very happy!

cjomomma 07-11-2011 08:18 AM

Thank you! I've always told my to use their imagination when they got bored.

klgreene 07-11-2011 09:50 AM

That's what I like to see, good old fashion fun. My kids always played outside with water, climbing trees, that was so much more fun than all the $$$$$ spent on toys today. I bought all those toys, but my kids didn't play with them, they like out doors fun better. Little Man is a cutie patutie!

roseOfsharon 07-11-2011 09:52 AM

How adorable is he! I think his playing with buckets and a cooler of water is wonderful and he is as happy as a clam!

sassey 07-11-2011 10:31 AM

He is such a cutie, homemade fun is the best kind. I have a little nephew I have called little man ever since he was 2 weeks old, when he got to be 5 he told me he was all growed up now and was a big kid lol I still call him little man. Think of him every time you talk about little man

mhansen6 07-11-2011 11:32 AM

Do you have sprinklers? My girls would play in the sprinklers for hours.

Jennifer22206 07-11-2011 11:39 AM

that looks like a ton of fun. we've got a pool and my daughter still loves to splash with buckets

No we don't. We live in an apartment and there are no outside faucets.
