Puddles and Poodles

It's that time of year - puddles galore.  Time to get the gumboots out and do some splashing.  Since this is the first year that the Pipsqueak is walking, she is in puddle discovery mode and loving it.  Equipped with her new pink booties, she spent a long time during a walk in the park just staring down at her feet and marvelling at the fact that her feet were immersed in the water.



After a while, she picked up speed and ran from puddle to puddle




"Can't Believe they let me do this!"

And even big sisters M and E who were initially occupied with collecting leaves and sticks and playing with a Poodle aptly named "Chanel", couldn't help but rediscover their love for a good puddle once they saw the Pipsqueak's excitement.






I love these two together!

And no puddle-splashing walk would be complete without the requisite baby-sitting-in-the-middle-of-the-puddle episode, not captured on camera due to immediate rescue of the baby by camera-toting mama, followed by the tuckered out baby back in the stroller.


For lack of a blanket or dry pair of pants, we substituted a fleece hoodie - put the legs through the sleeves and flip the hood up in front - et voila!

Loving FALL!
