Rain boots

Like my new rain boots?

We wanted to go outside Monday, but the ground was still a little wet and muddy. After putting on Carter's tennis shoes in the living room and getting dirt and mud all over my carpet, I decided maybe we need some rain boots. Mine have worn out, and he has out grown his! We wear them alot living in the country. Last time I wore them traipsing in the snow and water (not so long ago), my feet were soaked and COLD. Monday, we had to make a run to Wal-mart, so we decided to check out their stock. They're pretty cute, including the price tag. We got them home and tried them out even though we didn't need them by that time. Today we really needed them, and it looks like we'll need them in the near future. Carter wore his today in the rain even though we were just in town. They still helped. With Spring just around the corner, I'm looking forward to wearing out a new pair of rain boots.

So Happy for this Weather!

So I spared you the "snow" blog I drafted to myself one night as I lie in bed thinking that if it snowed one more time or the temps didn't start to approach 50 that I might have to pack and move to Florida! I'm not a snow baby. Well, thankfully this week is going to be amazing! We've already enjoyed a Valentine's Day picnic lunch with Daddy. He was happy to see us out and about, too. In addition to the snow and cold temps, Carter has had a rough go of it with a sinus infection and double ear infection that 2 rounds of antibiotics can't seem to knock out for most of January and all of February so far. He has run a fever again all weekend so we're headed to the doctor in the morning. After not being able to get out much, we sure were looking forward to getting out this week! I guess we'll be sticking to less crowded places until we know for sure what he has now. I'm so thankful for the backyard swing set and sunshine! Happy Valentine's Day!
