Gumboots 2

The youngest of the Hossacks 3 woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! All of the usual distractions were no help at all. He wasn't interested in cuddles, food (!), playdoh, crayons, blocks, puzzles or wooden spoons.

As a last resort we gumbooted up and headed outside. Thank goodness for outside! Blake is always happy exploring.

We got ready in a bit of a rush so as not to wake the neighbours at 5:45am. Blake still has his jammies on under his fleece and we accidentally put the too big boots on. It didn't slow him down much. We just had to stop from time to time and put the boot back on.


The boots were a big hit! Walking in the creek was wonderful. Blake and I came home wet, dirty and happy.



I shudder to think how many of these guys we stepped on. There were thousands! The grass was alive with little froglets or toadlets.
