Puddles are FUN!


Okay, let's be honest, my lovely wife does a much better job of getting pictures posted than I seem to manage.
We've had some pretty rainy, icky weather since Thursday. In fact, soccer practices were canceled Thursday night and both of the big boys' had their Saturday games canceled. This means it got "nice" on Saturday afternoon. That is, if "nice" means horribly humid and full of mosquitoes. I took DS#3 outside to play and he promptly went straight to the small puddle in front of our deck. I took somewhere around 30 pictures in hopes of getting a good shot of water flying through the air, having the flash go off correctly, etc. I did get a few good shots.

Meanwhile, I took some video too. Yes, DS#3 was completely in love with playing in the puddle and digging into the mud. Eventually, he started trying to stick things in his mouth (it was heading toward dinner time) so I brought him inside. Let's just say that didn't make him happy. After dinner he got to look at some of the clothes his mama bought him and with DD's influence, he started dancing around with one of the shirts.

The little man and I spend a lot of time together. Sometimes it is pretty exhausting, but it is always worth it. Fifteen years ago if someone told me I would be a stay-at-home dad, I would have laughed at them. Today, I can't imagine what I would have done differently.

  1. That first puddle shot is perfect w/ the splash, and CUTE video too! Love the dizzy puddle splashing and the T-shirt dance.
    So I'm wondering if I need to exchange that soccer shirt we got him for his Bday and sent him a vehicle shirt instead? LMK.
    And your comment about being a SAHD? I feel the same way about being a SAHM! :)
