Puddle Jumping!

It has been pouring rain for about 24 hours straight. Everything is flooded and soaked. The boys were cooped up inside at daycare all day long. Lots of craft projects, but not much rambunctious physical play. Not the ideal day for my boys. At daycare pick-up, still inside the toddler room, I whispered to them: "Let's go home fast so we can put on your boots and go PUDDLE JUMPING!!!" Now, this is more like it - the ideal rainy day activity for my boys! I know, I know, it is November and pitch dark outside and only about 50 degrees out, and most mothers of two-year-olds would never go for this. But just for the record-- we did put on their new winter snow pants, lots of fleece, and the rubber boots. The puddles were deep, it was just the four of us out there in the dark rainy night, and it was really really fun. Yes, they got super wet and dirty. But a hot bubble bath and soup for supper and a load of wash later... all is well in the world of our little family's home. Oh, and also- I wanted to note: my sweet little bambinos turned 2.5 today.
