Puddle splashing

The kids have been cooped up in the house a LOT since Christmas. I decided since we've got the water-proof boots and and pants now, that I'm going to get them outside for 20 minutes even if it's raining. Today, it actually stayed clear when I took the kids on a walk. They had a blast walking around and jumping in a puddle. Well, mostly, they had fun. Walt is going through a phase where he has a hard time enjoying the moment because he's so busy asking to do the NEXT thing, whatever he thinks it should be.

The only thing I didn't get on photo or video was when we got back home, I had the kids sit at the top of the grassy hill in the front yard, then I pulled them down the hill so they 'slid' down on their butts. That was so fun! Walt even got into the event by helping me pull the other two kids when it wasn't his turn.

We first stopped to watch the construction up the street (of course).

The kids are really good at staying on the sidewalk and Gordon ran way up ahead, so then first Walt, then Adele, had to go catch up. Adele says, "I have to go fast to get my brothers."

Puddle time!!!



I love how much fun they had. It was so deep that their socks (and Adele's pants) got soaked despite all the waterproof stuff.



I took three videos and normally would only post one, but I just couldn't choose!

I love they were just randomly holding hands even though we weren't crossing a street.

I also love that Gordon's new jacket arrived so that now he has one that actually fits!
