i say, "once you take your dishes to the sink, i want you to clean up and go upstairs and put your bathing suit on." {normally i would say put your pj's on...so now they are looking at me like i have lost it!}
i meet them in the backyard with cans of shaving cream and say,
"have fun!"
they weren't sure what to do at first.
til i grabbed one of their cans and sprayed it all over their heads.
then they tentatively started in on each other...
i had to turn the hose on once they started getting it in their eyes.
and they ended up having a BLAST!
pat got home about this point and wasn't sure what was going on :-)
it was a fun idea.
i can't remember where i saw it.
but it kept them busy for awhile :-)

SUPER fun! We heard the squeals and giggles and were wondering what it was all over their bodies. They sure did look like they had a Blast- what an awesome idea!
Very fun! I wish you were my mom! :)

Oh that's great! It's not just fun that you did it, it's how you did it, with the element of surprise. Our kids like shaving cream too. It's good cheap fun : )

I'm doing that with the kids tomorrow! Think I will make them wear their goggles though to protect the eyes.
That looks like so much fun, great idea.

Oh what fun. I saw this on another blog I'm obsessed with about a month or so ago. Thought it sounded like a BLAST and vowed to steal that idea when I need it in 10 or so years. SO much fun and makes for AWESOME pictures!
