For those who didn’t know the reference from Sunday’s post, the quote was from a Backyardigans Episode, Race Around the World. M and I have had it stuck in our heads ALL. WEEK. LONG.

At any rate, here we are for another installment of Thursday Theater!  Mr. Linky is not super cooperative these days, so if you’re joining the party, just say so in the comments.

I took this video over the weekend.  Hat tip to my friend Jane for the idea, when she busted out some big buckets and a hose the last time we had a playdate at her house.  It seemed to be a hit, so I found two 5-gallon buckets in the garage and the sand toys my in-laws got to go with the sandbox (containers pilfered from the recycling bin work just as well).  Obviously, it’s an activity for a warm day, and you simply have to accept the fact that they’re going to be soaked within minutes.

We all know that toddlers have notoriously short attention spans.  For Rebecca, apparently, one major exception is this type of water activity.  It was unreal how long she continued to play with two big buckets and a couple of smaller pouring implements.
