The Goedken Boys and Their Hoses

I called, "We'll go outside as soon as you get new diapers on.."  Nathan hit the deck immediately.  He loves the outside and would spend the whole day outside if he could.

This is a Goedken tradition being passed on to the next generation.  We all remember Terry's father watering his flowers.  He used to love standing there and talking to the neighbors. 

Andrew found the spot where two hoses were joined, which naturally leaks.  He can lean over and drink from the small trickle that comes out there.  His faher was fantastic at the splits, too.  I always thought it was from his karate training.  Perhaps it's genetic.  On second thought, I've never seen Terry do anything close to that.  He does love the hose though.

Nathan is pretty good with the hose, but you have to be sure not to attract his attention.  He doesn't exactly have the instant release down yet. The rules are not to squirt people, but if the people you're spraying stand there yelling, you tend to stay focused on them; hose and all.

Gramma and Grampa now have a couch in their garage.  Auntie Becca moved her furniture home and the couch wouldn't fit through the door.  It was decided that it would be great for resting on after the twins' wagon rides.  The twins approved.  They try to get Gramma off the couch in time for lunch.

It's nap time and Gramma can't find where the boys went.  How can they take a nap, if Gramma can't find them?  They were just ahead of her, when she came upstairs.  Listen, can you hear it; "Don't cry for me Argentina."  They love Auntie Becca's balcony.  It's a great place to check on what Grampa is doing.

There's a blueberry snatcher in our midst.  Andrew can eat a pint of blueberries all by himself and he has the diapers to prove it.
