all in a day's work

it's summer in Minnesota and i seem to have forgotten just how hot it can get! to keep the kids cool @ work, we spend most mornings swimming in kiddie pools and playing water games.

(and yes, i do (barely) get paid for this!)
Below - the whole gang.
most days, we have about 8-12 kids.
the picture below is after we made a driveway mural of footprints.
kids love to be messy!
