THIS just might be the very best pin ever.
At least as far as summer goes. My kids love a good water balloon fight, but I hate the hours and hours of filling up water balloons in involves for 15 minutes of fun. These "water bombs" are the perfect solution.
They take a half hour to put together and they can be used over and over and over and over again. I found big, car wash sponges at Wal-Mart for $1.22 a piece. They were pretty fat, so I used a knife to cut them in half into two "flatter" sponges before cutting them in strips.
Cut half of the sponges into bigger ones by cutting the sponges lengthwise and tying them with pipe cleaner chenille stem. Make them as tight as you can because the sponge pieces will come out if they are too loose.
Make smaller ones by cutting them width-wise. You'll want a variety of water bombs in your arsenal.
Fill two big buckets with water and placed strategically in the yard. Invite your neighbors over.
And proceed with an epic water bomb fight.
Continue until someone (Brad) steps on a wasp and suffers a wasp sting between his toes and someone else (Eli), unaware of the wasp sting, throws a sopping wet water bomb into the first someone's back, who then turns around in a fit of passion to chunk his water bomb back in retaliation, but instead falls over the second someone, thus busting the second someone's lip.
Or until you run out of water. Whichever works for your family.
Repeat every night after dinner while enjoying the evening on the porch.
Well, except for the wasp sting and busted lip.
