Water Bombs!

Today we said goodbye to Nana and Papa. The kids were already asking to visit them on the way home from the airport. Thanks for a great visit!

I must say, I entered the blogging world pretty late. But I'm glad I made it! I have actually made new friends that I have never even met before. I was reading one such blog and came across a fabulous idea. You can see her post here. They are called Sponge Balls, or Water Bombs as we sometimes called them, and they are great for hot days!
You need:
* the cheapest sponges you can find. I found a 4-pack for about $0.70
* floss, string, or fishing line,
*scissors
Cut each sponge to 4 sections. Then layer the sections from 2 sponges on top of your string. Wrap the string around and tighten until it POPS out into a star shape. Tie the string.
Now go get wet! I must admit that the kids ended up just dumping the bucket of water on each other since it was so hot. But they loved their Water Sponges and Sunshine even slept with his!

I found your blog through the Hall's. Crazy blogs!! You guys look great! I never did hear where you guys ended up moving to, but your neighborhood looks dreamy. We're down in sunny AZ. It was fun running into your blog. Give that sweet family of yours lots of loves from the stapley's.
