PJs and Puddle Jumpers

A couple of weeks ago, we were at the mall shopping for Abby's birthday and somehow, mysteriously, we came home with an adorable pair of puddle jumpers for Caroline! I have NO idea HOW that happened...but you have to admit...they have Caroline's name written all over them! We still had snow on the ground at the time, so I put them away in the closet.

Caroline has been feeling under the weather the last week or so, and I decided to keep her home from school on Wednesday. It just so happened that it rained enough in the last few days to consider ordering an ark...or at least a back-up sump pump...and I was about to go stir crazy in the house, between Caroline trashing the house and alternately squealing and whining about whatever didn't go her way. She is usually so good-natured, but when she doesn't feel good...watch out! I looked out the window and noticed a break in the rain. In a flash, I scooped Caroline up (in her pajamas), dug out the boots, grabbed my camera and hit the door! I think, at first, she thought I had lost my mind. A stiff wind was blowing, and it was COLD! She finally figured it out, though, and in the end, it was all I could do to get her to come in! I posted a little slide show of my favorite shots and a video below. Oh, and that smudge on her lips is "Hello, Kitty" lip balm!

Talk about a "blustery day"!

Caroline's hat nearly blew away!
