For the last few weeks, we have had either beautiful Spring days or nasty soggy rainy days. To be completely honest, there have been some gorgeous afternoons that should have been spent outside that we wasted indoors. After the rain finally let up this evening, my inner child demanded that I take the kids out to play in the puddles before bedtime.
I asked Peanut if he wanted to put his shorts on- he politely declined.

I love how this picture captures my messy mischievous little guy.
M wanted me to take a picture of her flower. Who am I to refuse a cute photo op?
Is there a specific activity that takes you back to your childhood?
We were never allowed to splash in puddles when we were kids, so I let my own two get out there all they want. I live on a dirt road, too, so they are more mud puddles, but my boys don't mind.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! Yesterday I was outside with my son running around- I don't know their real name and they took me back!
ReplyDeleteI've decided that galoshes are a MUST HAVE for a little kid. I didn't have any until I was older. Red loves his pirate ones!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had a blast playing outside and the flowers are beautiful. My son is 7 and still runs around the house in his undies.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about puddles that makes them so attractive! I do remember doing it myself as a child - I guess they're magical.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had such a great time! I love the flowers, they are lovely I would love a yard like this.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun time you and the kiddos had! My daughters use to run around in their undies too. I guess they felt more free that way...hehe! I'm loving those rain boots!
ReplyDeleteMy girls were never ones who liked to get dirty, but I have a nephew that I love to splash in puddles with! Such cuties in your photos!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind splashing in the puddles. I just got boots for myself for that very reason
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun!! Riding a bike takes me back to childhood, riding on the street in front of my grandparents house.
ReplyDeleteRunning through the sprinkler takes me back! My kids have a local splash pad so they don't know how to do it old school ;)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are great! Your little guy is too funny! The geraniums are beautiful!!
ReplyDeletepuddles are for jumping. always. that's why we get rain boots for kids. right?
ReplyDeletemy son didn't wear pants for about 2 years. its a phase. mostly. LOL!
Such pretty photos! I love those rainbows too! I need to get some for my girls!
ReplyDeleteOh, to have a rainy day here would be wonderful. There's nothing more fun than playing in the rain! Alas, Phoenix gets very little, so you can imagine our excitement (and oh, the playing) that goes on when we do get rain. Looks like you guys enjoyed it immensely!
ReplyDeleteI love rainy days! The last time it rained, my son just sat by the window in complete awe! That picture of your little one in his diaper and boots is precious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! It's been raining here, but I can't wait to get out and get our hands a little dirty too!
ReplyDeleteThe mud capture is absolutely precious. So like my soon to be 4 year old!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures and I love their little rain boots. I used to love splashing around in puddles when it rained. My mom would let us go out while it was still raining and it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy boys love splashing in puddles. Those boots are so cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute photos! We grew up out in the country - and always played outside in the puddles. In our backyard, there was a part of the yard that always flooded after a heavy rain. We played in that for hours and hours.
ReplyDeleteWe have begun the pant-less season! I love kids in mud and nature. Brings back memories of my own mishaps in the mud.
ReplyDeleteHow fun and adorable kiddos! For me it's the smell of oil and gasoline....the daughter of a mechanic. ;)
ReplyDeleteThere is truly something wonderful about allowing children to play and to enjoy the world around them without cares and worries.
ReplyDeleteThere is truly something wonderful about allowing children to play outdoors without regard to anything except having fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of those geraniums! I've never had much luck with them.
ReplyDeleteFinally some out door weather! Your kids are really adorable
ReplyDeleteFun pics! We are puddle splashers! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWalking through the woods takes me back to childhood. Our house was backed up to the woods until it all got developed when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Your kids are too cute, love the boots!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, how cute are these? I love that he politely declined shorts. :) Kids are funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet photos. The weather is actually really nice here - haven't had rain in a bit!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pictures of the little ones! I especially love the messy face photo and the one with flower in the hands! Yes, you definitely shouldn't refuse cute pics like those. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable children you have! My daughter loves to play in rain and puddles, but it always makes me cringe. I don't like to get wet!
ReplyDeleteI love the puddles :) We loved family game nights growing up
ReplyDeleteI love puddle jumping when I have gumboots on! These are very sweet pictures :)
ReplyDeleteCute pics. My daughter seeks out puddles. No matter how small she HAS to make a splash!
ReplyDeleteMy kids attack puddles! They will compete with each other to see who can make the biggest splash!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get rain often, but when we do the kids think it's so fun!! Cute rain boots!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute rainboots! It looks like they had a great day :)
