Singin' in the Rain and other stuffs

It doesn't take much to make a child happy. Sometimes I think we, as parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc, forget that. While trying to keep up with the Jones', we forget just to spend time with our children and let them enjoy being kids. They don't need the latest gadget or the newest styles in clothing. They need to feel loved and safe and well. So here we go trying to lead a 'simple life'. (of course, we still have to watch Barney and Wiggles way more than I'd like. So we still have room for improvement in living that simple life.)

Judson has been wanting to play in the rain FOREVER. Not sure why. It's just something he has mentioned multiple times. Believe it or not, I don't own an umbrella. Let's face it, 3 kids, diaper bag, purse, stroller, etc, just don't lend themselves to carrying an umbrella. So I found a kids umbrella for Judson and some cheap puddle jumping shoes. (not stylish but quite fun and functional) We finally had a rain where there was no thunder and lightening. This is the result. He had a blast.
Hats! You just can't have enough hats. They must be in all colors and shapes and sizes. And if you don't have one ready, you improvise. Here we are with our 'hats'.




"Boy, is that a panty on your head?" Yes, he is wearing a pull up while he sits on the potty! It was clean, in case you are wondering.
