Well the quest for rain boots was a success – mostly. The smallest size they had was a size larger than the sneakers he’s wearing right now, but he’ll grow. We ended up getting a box of sidewalk (or in our case driveway) chalk as well.

And of course, since he was properly outfitted for puddle stomping, he had no interest whatsoever in splashing through them. Here I caught him just barely walking in the water – he was too distracted by the newness of the boots and the chalk.

That was easily the highlight of my day. Most of the rest of today was spent with a cranky, willful Adam impostor. I am hoping my sweet, happy boy returns tomorrow – otherwise I might have to see if I can get him to fit in a flat-rate APO shipping box.

One last picture before I go. We saw this display made out of 12-packs of pop while we were shopping earlier.

I would have tried to get a better picture, but some lady’s kid was running laps around the crackers and kept getting in my way. Oh wait, that was my kid.

Go Orange.
