It's always the smallest simplest things that bring incredible joy to children. Puddle jumping is one of those things. Why? I don't know but I'm learning that it falls into the same category as stopping to smell the roses. There's no better way to revert to your childhood as jumping in puddles.

As I mentioned yesterday, it's raining cats and dogs here. The sound is most unpleasant. All that meowing and barking. All that rain means lots of puddles. Lots of big puddles.

Before the rain actually started, Bec and I promised the girls we'd go puddle jumping. A couple of days ago, we did. The results were fantastically wet and muddy but as I just mentioned, it's the simple things that have the biggest, and most lasting, effect.
