Wellies on a rainy day...

A few days ago the kids woke up, got ready for school and said "Yes...its raining we get to wear our boots!" Here in England rain boots are called Wellies. I haven't bought them a pair until this year. I thought they didn't need them, its not like they go outside during recess to play in the rain. Wrong! They do go outside every now and then when it is wet or even slightly raining so I learned my lesson and bought them. Last year they needed them for not only the rainy days but for also the snowy wet days. Nobody that I know of wears snow boots here they only wear their wellies. You would think their feet would get really cold. The snow here doesn't stick around very long and they usually don't get much anyways. The kids had so much fun jumping in puddles and stomping about that it took us so long to walk from the car into school. Luckily all that got wet were the boots!
