Sprinklers & Pony Boys










One day when we got home from school, Jeff was outside with a running hose.  Melanie immediately took her shirt off (still in the car) and wanted to get sprayed.  Later, to our dismay, she also de-pantsed herself outside.  After that, we have been diligent about getting her bathing suit on her body before she gets set loose.  She spent a lot of time in the sprinkler that week, but Joey still has some "getting used to" to do.

Grace came over to play a couple of nights in a row when we were getting great, warm weather.  One night she had her hair in a ponytail, so Melanie wanted one.  There was born the "pony boy," which is what Melanie calls pony/pig tails.  Sometimes she wants one "pony boy," sometimes two.  The history of the word comes from a song my parents sing to her when they give her horsey-rides on their leg.
