Blue Skies and Red Boots

The weather has been very un-winter like lately. So Caitlin and I spent some time outside playing.

 

 

I went into a consignment store looking for pants for Dominic, since he can't seem to stop growing.

Caitlin took one look at a pair of red boots and fell in love. She picked them up and hugged them to her chest.

"Mommy, can I have these boots? I won't need anything else. 

You don't have to buy me ANYTHING if you will just buy me these boots."

They were the next size up so I said okay.

She wouldn't put them down and every time I would pick something up to look at it she would say

"You don't need to get me that. I have my boots!"

As soon as I'd paid for them she sat down and put them on. She then wore them for the next few days straight, including during bedtime. Much to her distress Jon left them at someone's house (one of the amazing friends who volunteered to watch her) while I was at the hospital. So I'll have to go on a rescue mission this week.

 

Lost camera

I have once again "lost" a camera. This will be the 4th digital camera that we've purchased.

One was broken by a baby boy I know, one was stolen, but I have no idea what happened to this last one.

We've ordered another one, but until it gets here I'm left frustrated that I can't take pictures.

I've missed out on Dominic washing dishes, Caitlin helping me dust, the kids playing together, Caitlin's chocolate face at the birthday party we went to today and many others.

So tonight after a rather cute photo op Jon pulled out the video camera and took a few pictures for me.

Caitlin found these rain boots at the consignment sale we went to today.

 She sat down and put them on right away. She then brought me her shoes and put them in my purse.

When we got home she decided to add her umbrella to the look.

Not sure why she's missing her pants.

Dominic didn't want to be left out of these pictures.

I have no idea what his fascination with underwear is.

But apparently he's still in love with them - just not on the right body part.
