water gun fight

The weather has warmed back up again (thank God), and so yesterday Ezra wanted to have a water gun fight. Of course I grabbed my camera.

We had a great time chasing each other around, until I finally ran inside and just got shots of him spraying the storm door (which are my favorite photos of the bunch — so magical).

Besides water fights, our days have consisted of watching a cocoon in our backyard (it hasn’t hatched yet) and reading SO MUCH Harry Potter. Which I’m exhausted from reading aloud, but also treasuring as I’ve told him after book 2, he has to read the rest on his own. Can you say motivation?
