Every time the sun pokes out of the clouds my kids ask if they can play in the sprinkler. It doesn't matter if it's a 40 degree sunny day in the middle of winter--they want to get their swimming suits on and go! Last year--after days of asking to play when it was too cold--I made a guideline that it has to be 80 degrees before it's considered "sprinkler weather." Well, yesterday the Pacific Northwest air finally decided to thaw out and by mid afternoon it was 77 degrees at our house. So, guess what? The kids asked if they could play in the sprinkler! In order to quelch the unceasing whining that would have occurred if I had said "It's not 80 degrees yet!", I dug out the sprinkler, hooked up the hose, and sent them outside. They loved it! Today is supposed to be just as warm and I'm sure they'll be asking me again...
