Big Hats, Little Pool

Yesterday was so hot and sunny in the morning - a perfect day for the "baby" pool, since our big pool isn't open yet (hopefully next week)!  But for now, the boys are perfectly content  playing in the little one, alternating between the pool, water table, and all of their ride on toys in the driveway.  I gave them a couple new water squirt guns and they used them to give all the tricycles and wagon a wash (and to get Spencer wet).  Spencer is the one who usually jumps in the pool first and gets the most wet anyway.  Aunt Joan's mom gave us these awesome swim hats and the twins wore them without any fuss.  They are so nice because they completely shield the boys' faces, ears, and necks from the sun and are lightweight and water resistant!  The funny thing about playing with all 3 out in the yard lately is the mommy role Owen has taken on with Spencer.  He runs around watching what Spencie does, saying things like "no, baby!" "baby be careful!" and "baby come back" (when he starts heading too far down the driveway).  Makes life just a tiny bit easier for me, haha!
