Barefoot Rainy Day!

The other day was a bit wet outside and Madison asked me if she could " feel the rain" so assuming she was going to go out on the patio and stick her hand out in the rain I said yes, and I proceeded to do the laundry. A few minutes later she shows up behind me soaked from head to toe!

I asked her what she did and she said " I jumped in the puddles!" Well of course she did, right! How else do you feel the rain? She was already wet so when she asked me to go back outside I figured, what harm could it do!

Oh did I forget to mention she was still in her pajamas and did not have on shoes socks or a coat! At that point I figured why ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes and sock and it really wasn't that cold outside! :) I did put a jacket on her after her first tromp through the puddles.

Samantha and I walked out to watch her and of course Samantha wanted to get down the minute she saw how much fun her sister was having, so, yes shoeless and jacket-less, I put her down and let her take a turn in the rain!

I decided to put a jacket on her after a few minutes so the neighbors wouldn't say anything! :)

What could be more fun than a full drain pipe?

They had a blast and we were outside for a good 45 minutes, on a rainy day that is a blessing! The funny part was the whole time I was worried what other people were thinking, the maintenance guy working on our water heater, the mail man, the bus driver, the other residents, I was worried someone might call child services on me for letting my little kids run around outside in the rain without shoes on!O.K. I didn't really think anyone would call, and in reality most of them probably didn't even notice they were shoeless, but I was thinking about it the whole time!

Madison just started a cold today, 5 days later, do you think this could be related?
