It was raining when we woke up this morning and it is still raining now. After cleaning the house, running errands, coloring, painting, watching Curious George, reading books, and several other activities, I decided to let the kids play in the rain!!! As soon as I asked them if they wanted to go outside to splash in puddles, Russell yelled "YES" and told me he needed his swim suit and boots. So, we got on our swim suits and I dug out the snow boots :-) Russell put his boots on by himself and thankfully I bought too big a pair last year so they still fit! Sloane doesn't have boots yet, so she was happy to wear an old pair of shoes. Both kids practically skipped out into the rain in search of BIG puddles. We walked the entire block and got extremely wet splashing, kicking, and jumping (lots of jumping) in the puddles surrounding our neighborhood. We had several cars slow down to take a look at the crazy mother with her two toddlers out in the rain. We also had several neighbors perched at their windows smiling while the kids were giggling and running down the sidewalk!

What great shots you got of the kids. Funny we did the same sort of fun this morning. Ella and Carter love to play out in the driveway when it rains and Elle received a brand new umbrella, boots, and rainjacket set for her birthday so she donned her new outfit and splashed in the puddles a bit!
Good for you for taking time out of your insane schedule to splash in the puddles! The kids remember that sort of stuff the most. Glad things are going well with you. Keep up the fun. Much love from G.R.
