A couple of months ago we bought some water pistols preparing for all that hot weather to come. Being the coldest start to summer it has been for decades, we havent used them all that much.
After school today William asked if they could have a water fight. Being the last day of school for the year and a fairly warm day I had no problem with it. Somehow, like always, I got 'roped' into playing when someone snipered me from behind, I had no choice but to defend myself. An innocent little squirt, turned into a full blown 'water war'!
We instinctively devided ourselves into teams. Sam and I verses William and Jacob. We even set up army style barricades for protection and ammunition buckets. Army crawling tactics werent appreciated when William cried foul as I crossed the imaginary 'no-go/too-close' zone. Lucas was so brave taking on 'no-mans land' on several occasions to surpirise me with a 'sneak attack' to the back with a cup of water. Sam was just as happy shooting his squirter up into the sky to watch the 'rain fall' rather than battling the 'enemies'. Jacob was constantly adjusting the size of their barricade for maximum protection, but unfortunately left himself wide open on many occasions for a super soaker bombardment from Colonel Daddy.
The war ended in a truce, with 4 pairs of cold wet bum cheeks running upstairs for a 'debrief' and a warm shower.
