Today we enjoyed a
Spring Friday FuN DaY at home. On weeks such as this where our days are always on the go, it is so nice to take out some of our toys in the backyard and let the kids be kids. So on this absolutely gorgeous Friday with absolutely no plans, the kids enjoyed bubbles, our new sand and water table (thank you Fantsy Designs for this signature fun piece), chalk art, garden tools, scooting toys, and of course an oversized gator pool filled with very cold water.
Seriously the
kids LOVED the sand table. We put some of Aubrey's plastic dinosaur toys and went on a dig. We used some very "impressive" tools such as fabulous ones mommy pulled from the kitchen (man I need to make a trip to the dollar store ha!). We used cups, a wisk, several spoons, and even wooden utensils.

We did take a few breaks for some sports games. We were all smiles as we bounced and crawled all over the deck. We are currently into a mixture of golf and soccer. It's hilarious.
Bubbles were also a great hit. We used this dollar store find for some good ole bubble play. It may or not have run out of battery juice within the first hour, but still an hour worth of fun for a dollar. Winning!
Our morning lasted almost 2 hours outside. Liam took his early nap while sweet sister came in with me to relax and have a snack.
But before long, lunch came and we were back outside and ready to play.
Before long, the deck became too hot, so Liam problem solved and
simply just got into the sand bucket. I think he's a genius. We loved digging, tossing, and of course eating sand. Later we would love that he was not a fan of leaving the sand. Tears for days!
To cool off, Aubrey was the first one to
jump in and enjoy some gator pool fun. The water was really too cold which she would tell you, but boy it didn't stop her from climbing right in. She first decided she would water the plants (grass and weeds). Then she quickly began to water her brother. Liam seemed to enjoy but quickly was ready to get out. He liked playing with the balls and gardening tools next to the pool.

Oh our Friday FuN DaY was filled with such great outdoor play. Kids are both currently napping but we look forward to more pool fun when daddy comes back home. Happy Spring Fun Days to you and yours! We surely are looking forward to enjoying as many gorgeous Spring Days outdoors before the summer sun hits us soon.
