Puddle Jumping

So far this spring has supplied us with a couple of really great rain storms......and what is the best thing about rain storms??? PUDDLES!!! The only problem with that is that Chase's old boots had some cracks and Max thinks his tennis shoes are just fine for the water.

So, tonight, Daddy and I took the boys to Big R and picked out some new boots, though that makes it sound as if it was a simple task :) Here is how it went down. We entered the boot aisle and Chase went straight to the boots he wanted, Daddy grabbed his size, tried them on and done. He didn't even take them off again, he wore them in the store....loved 'em. Mama on the other hand worked with Max who wiggled and screamed about having to try on boots to the point that I said, ok, no problem, no boots for Max. We walked about two aisles over and Max must have been checking out brother's cool boots because suddenly he b-lines back to the boot aisle, grabs a pair of boots just like Chase's and points to his feet. Dan and I were a little in shock at this point. Then we started to look for Max's size and we couldn't find it. I did find his size in the navy blue boots, but oh no, Max pitched a fit and threw those boots down the aisle. Daddy is frantically looking and looking for Max's size in the camo boots and wouldn't you know it, in the very back, behind all of the other boxes was Max's size. Just like it was waiting there for him. He put them on, pointed at his brother's boots and then took off to go see the baby chicks : )
