Before and After

With the weather getting warmer, I decided to make a water table for the kids.
The kids really liked this idea.

Even if it did leave then a little wet.




But it also produced infectious giggles.
(Go on watch it and I dare you not to laugh)


I got this idea from this blogger.

I love toddler giggles!

My son is big on dumping the water on himself too.

What a great idea! A Mom not afraid of the mess or clean-up and all about the fun! Thanks for the idea!! I hope you had a great Mother's Day!

I love it! I am giggling watching them giggle!

I used to do that too. I also got brave and filled up a container with rice for them to play in with spoons/cups etc. They loved it!

The rice was much more difficult to clean up though!

Great idea!

I gotta get this laptop fixed so I can watch videos on it though.

I feel so alone and left out in the cold.

Just a bit wet, you say?

Kids love it!

Brandy said...

Sounds like they had a BLAST! And at least the mess stayed outside.

My kids always loved playing in the water too.. But I never thought about making a water table... GOOD idea... & those pictures...priceless! : ) Hope you had a happy mothers day!

I like your definition of a "little" wet... it's quite similar to mine!

Crista said...

How FUN!! Just a "little" wet, huh? ;)

Lula! said...

Seriously, you are the best mom. 'Cause if my girls had ased to do this, I'd be all, "Go play in the pool!"

See how mean I am? Sigh...

I found you through your guest blog at Rachael's, but I think I've seen your name all over many other blogs I visit.

I, too, have triplets.

Thanks for the water table idea. The next hot day, I'm SO stealing it!

Emily said...

A little wet? Don't you mean soaked! lol. Looks like a blast!

I was *this* close to getting the CUTEST water table at Costco this weekend and then I realized... I don't have a backyard.

Great water table--just as good as the tent you made in the living room! Loved the video. I was able to watch it at the library!

Sarah said...

LOL! We debated on buying our daughter a water table for her birthday...this looks like a great (and cheaper!) alternative. SO FUN!

Jenni said...

How CUTE and silly and Fuuuuuun!

Jennifer said...

Seriously nothing is cuter than kids and their pure belly laughs!

I love that you made your own!!! You are too smart. And look at them, having the time of their lives! You're right, it's REALLY hard not to giggle while watching that :)

I need to do something like that for my kids. I know they'd have a blast.

Water is so much fun to play with, even for adults. We had warm weather yesterday, and ended up having a Mother's Day hose fight!

Danyele Easterhaus said...

mpannek said...

Love it!!! I especially love the little guy in the background playing in the dirt. I found you over at Little Bites of Heaven. Love your blog! I'm a rookie blogger, but I have triplets +2! It's my timeout! :)

Jen - Queen of Poo said...

Isn't it amazing that a simple tub of water can provide so much fun and entertainment? Only the really smart moms ever think of it, though. ;-)

Shannon said...

I watched... and I totally giggled right along with 'em!

All My Monkeys said...

Great idea. I'll have to try that. Man, your daughter really was going nuts. So hilarious.

Cristin said...

Claire is going nuts!! Oh, Dottie would have so much fun playing with them.... when can I drop her off???

Caitlin said...

Looks like a lot of fun- and it kept them busy! I lost the dare- I laughed and laughed along with them!
