Making the most of the funky weather

This weather has been giving us fits... sunny one moment, hailing the next.  I never seem to be able to follow through on our play dates and Joe gets plumb stir crazy.  So last week I decided to make the most of it and when it was sunny, he got to swim in his baby pool.  Playing with his boats and his water can - basically having a splish splashing blast. 

When it was raining, I put him in his raincoat and boots and let him have puddle play once the worst of the storm had passed.  As it turned out it was Thursday, garbage day in our neck of the woods, and our neighbors cans made the perfect dam to create quite a deep puddle so Joey could stomp and splash until to his hearts content.  He even got to run through another neighbors sprinklers since they were going off.

I decided if I can't beat the weather, then we might as well make the most of it.  Joey seemed to agree as he had a blast with the assortment of playtime activities we came up with.
