Now that summer vacation is here, I try to get my kids to play outside. Where I live it is HOT!!!! So to make it a little more bearable I let the kids play in the water. Makes sense right!?!?! I would generally have absolutely no problem letting them have a hay day with it, but I do have two small issues. First, water is expensive! Water, ya know the stuff that covers 75% of the planet!!! In the summer I end up with a water bill that is almost as high as my freakin electric bill, and I run my AC nonstop!!!!!!!!!! But I like that they actually will go outside to play, no scratch that I NEED them going outside to play!! Second, because I live in the desert, I have no grass. So where most would not have a problem letting there kids water their yard, I get a monster sized mud pit for a backyard. And its some sticky stuff!! My kids will wear it like its sunblock! Everything covered in mud, and they want to come into my nicely cleaned house!!!!!! After about 3 complete meltdowns, they do know, NOW, they must rinse off before coming in, but apparently I didn't say anything about drying off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
