The diy water park

Because it's unseasonably warm here right now and after looking at what happens to our electric bill when we use the AC during the day...

I picked up the kids all hot sweaty and sugared up from school (because the last day before spring vacation was all about parties and sugar. Despite the school's ban on sugar, there was jelly beans and jolly ranchers being graphed then eaten in Kayla's room and Joey's class had a school store where they hunted for easter eggs, then took the money from inside the eggs to buy stuff at the class store which included... candy. Although Joey's teacher said they couldn't eat it til they got home, and Kayla's teacher did offer to pack their jelly beans for them to take home, however few bean were packed.

Anyway.. we're home in a vacation sort of mood. And we're hot.

So.. this is what I came up with

Easier to tell from the video below.. but this is the poor man's water park. Put up swingset (ok.. so not poor man, since that in itself was an investment we couldn't afford in our med school days) turn on yard sprinklers.

Oh. One More thing.
You notice the lack of something?
Hint: It's the 15th. Of April

Right. Blogging about sweating about getting my books in order and filing my taxes. They were done months ago.
Granted I only clicked "file" last week, but they were done. Serious Progress, in most aspects.

I missed the "we'll double check your return free" deadline with H+R block by a day, but it got them done, so that in itself qualifies for something.

Patting myself on the back.
