Water Bugs

Our lawn has been scorched by the recent bad weather and by the fact that I keep forgetting to water it. We are only allowed to water every other day, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the sprinkler system to run on the right day automatically. So, on Thursday afternoon (a non-water day) I put out the hose on a particularly scorched area and told the surprised kids that it was OK if they ran through it. Sophie, Natalie and Calvin thought this was the best idea ever and soon were soaked through - but hey, the lawn got a bit of water and they had loads of fun!
