Making the most of the weather

Posted on August 27, 2015August 6, 2016
You’ve all heard it said before, there really is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices.
Well thankfully Emmy and Harry certainly agree as it’s been rather horrid here for the past few days.
With cabin fever setting in, boredom, fighting and far too many toys being tipped out all over the house in a bid to hide away from the rain, we all decided to embrace it instead.
Getting ready for torrential rain takes a little longer however after around half an hour we were able to escape the house today.
Once outside no-one wanted to return, except maybe the dog as we were having far too much fun.
Puddle jumping was of course in order, pretending to swim down the road, singing in the rain and general fun and frolics were had by all.

Emmy and I ran the Race for Life last month in loving memory of my wonderful Mother-in-Law Anne who sadly passed away on 14th July. We would be honoured if you would consider sponsoring us to race money for Cancer Research UK.

    My Toddler LOVES the rain. She gets so excited when she sees her wellies as she knows it means puddles. Trouble is she ALWAYS wants her boots and doesn't understand that we can't puddle jump on dry days.

    Looks like you've had fun in the rain. My older boys love jumping in puddles so, although I was hoping for summer and warmth, they've loved playing in the rain
