Photos of the Week: Jan 14

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” – Roger Miller

It was the second week of January and we didn’t have much going except National Puddle Jumping Day on January 13th.

We prepared by wearing our rain gear even when sunny.

And wearing rain gear when cooking.

And rain gear when playing the piano.

When the day came, the weather (in Seattle!) didn’t cooperate so we had to fill up our favorite puddle ourselves. And our favorite uncle came and helped Miss O empty it out…

There was one member of the household not excited about National Puddle Jumping Day.

In light of all this, perhaps it’s fitting that my heart of the week is… a puddle!

  4. Puddle jumping is such a quintessential moment of childhood and how wonderful there’s a national day to celebrate just that. Adorable photo of the kids and Mr D in his rain gear!

  7. Love how Mr. D was preparing for the rain ahead of time. And making your own puddles when the rain didn’t show up. Some good lessons there, besides the fun pictures! 🤍

  8. I loved the idea of making your own puddles when they don’t arrive on cue. I agree, playing in puddles is such a fun part of childhood – I love watching kids have fun.

      1. definitely – I don’t remember it, but my mum said she had a major keeping me out of puddles after watching Andy Pandy as a toddler – apparently he played in the puddles – so I copied.

    1. Yes, why don’t they make some of this gear in adult sizes? Right, Mary? It’s very functional – but perhaps a little warm to be zipped into a rubber suit. 🙂
