Rainy Day Puddles

My children LOVE puddles.  I'm sure every child does, but mine actually get excited about seeing the rain roll in because it means that soon there will be puddles!  They got the most adorable froggy rain boots (or "soggy boots" as Chisolm calls them) this year (thank you Target) and they are well worn (especially this spring!).  Here are some pictures of a walk we took this afternoon shortly after the rain stopped (more like paused, but you get the point).

March, march, march!

Time to cut the grass, I think...

splashing as much as he possibly can!

Rainy Day

Well, we had a beautiful Monday (thank goodness, we went to the pumpkin patch that day!), and a rainy, drab, slooooooow Tuesday. Louisa desperatly wanted to play outside ( We always want to go outside more on days that we can't--the grass is always greener, right?! !). I just happened to have my camera handy when I found her staring longingly out of the sunroom doors at her car (turned over so water doesn't collect in it) and her swing:

To our surprise, we found a little friend hopping around our patio. This little birdie entertained us for quite a while. We even got Raffi out and sang "Robin in the Rain" (wrong bird, but it was raining...). Thanks Mister Cardinal, you helped this rainy day go a little bit faster...
