Some Good 'ole Dirty Fun!




One large tub water + Lots and lots of soapy goodness = Tons of slippery, soapy fun!

The look on the babies face when I did this was priceless. They were like really, we can play in this. Seriously!?! I even caught Claire trying to eat some. I just love seeing the world through the eyes of a one year old (or in my case, a couple of one year olds).

Oh I'm so glad to have internet again!!!

That does look like fun - and a big mess too! Water only means one thing in our house - accidents! It always happens and it's never pretty.

Good on you... :)

This is one of those, "Why didn't I think of that?" moments! When my 3 big kiddos were little, they would have loved it, what a good idea!!!! They look like they are having some good clean fun!!!!

Awhile back my mom let Tyler play in a sink of bubbles before she washed the dishes - ahhh ha! light bulb moment for me - so now I do this for Tyler too (in a big bucket) - seriously he will play with it for like 45 min to 1 hour and when bubble volume is not up to his standards, he does his little sign for "more". They are so cute in the pics and look like they are enjoying themselves!!! :-)

What is it about the magic of water that makes children so excitable? When my 3-year-old daughter is playing up I just ask her if she wants to to the washing up and ta-dah, she magically changes into a domestic goddess!

Isn't it funny how they have the best time with the most simple plan? Forget spending money on toys, just get a tub with water and soap!

So, is that just a big rubbermaid tub? What a good idea. Who needs a water table!

Too cute and thank goodness for water. My little one thinks it's better than any toy around. I call it Old Reliable. When nothing else makes her happy...Turn on the water! Thanks for sharing

That definitely looks like a good time.
I'm gonna have to use this one on my boys.
Your babes are so sweet & cute.
My boys were born may 10th 2007 I think they are all real close in age.

It's also fun to give them straws to blow bubbles in the water!

I shall now be adding soap to my daughters water table. Genius!

And I have to say how much fun it looks to have 3 one year olds! Not saying at times it not crazy. But the amazing thing about seeing it through a kids eyes, let alone 3 one year olds (and your daughter!) Awesome!

Aw! It looks like they had a great time!

Wee One would be eating those bubbles as fast as he could get them in his mouth. I don't get his bubble-eating obsession.
