The Hose ... Again

Owen has been mostly quiet as of late.  Sure, he has randomly gone to the bathroom outside and asked if I was drinking a whole glass of tequila (it was wine).  But, nothing big enough to blog about.  I guess there was one thing, but we're keeping that on the DL because it's not a funny story, but a scary one.

So, Owen has been quiet.  Has he turned a corner?  Does he realize he is three now and should start acting his age not his shoe size?  Wait, his shoe size is a nine so I guess that doesn't make sense for him right now.

Anyway, we have had our windows open the last few days because it hasn't been 95 degrees AND our energy bill was ridiculous for the month if July.  Thanks a lot, heat!  I was not home to witness this, but I felt the after effects a few hours later.  Elsa was in her room doing whatever she does (plays with her jewelry, barbies, hair ties, etc.).  Owen was outside doing what he does (going to the bathroom, picking unripe strawberries and tomatoes, turning on the hose, etc.).  Apparently, Owen saw Elsa in her room and decided to play a little prank on his sister.  Does he know what a prank is?  I doubt it.  Maybe he was just being mean because he thought it was funny.

What did Owen do?  He started spraying the hose through Elsa's open bedroom window and soaked Elsa and her entire floor.  Peter came in and yelled for him to stop.  Of course, Owen doesn't listen to anyone he doesn't want to listen to.  So, he didn't.  Peter ran out of the house, jumped over the railing of the deck, and, just when he was about to grab the hose, Owen realized he should stop.  He dropped the hose and ran.

Elsa's carpet was still wet when I got home a few hours later.  I didn't think twice about it when I noticed it.  I mean, they're kids, they probably spilled some water or something.  But then, Peter told me the story and I realized this was Owen's doing.  Awesome.
