Wiggles {puddle jumping}


{photos via the talented potatobeenz | kasey d. | monday eyes}

Why do we like puddle jumping?  I don't think anyone really loves being wet or ruining a pair of shoes -- but there is something so inviting about just jumping!  Making a decision to do something -- because you want to, to abandon the sensibility of everyday life and just jump -- disregard how much the shoes cost, disregard who is watching, disregard if the "cool kids are doing it," and just do it.  Jump in the puddle.  Giggle.  Make a splash.  Be you and just jump!

    I'm definitely a puddle jumper. Especially when I run, I love getting into the puddles (not on the street, bleugh) and kicking up water behind me!

    We don't get puddles too often here in Phoenix so when we do, it's still fun to play in them. I remember when I was little and the water would be running down the curbs we would put little sticks in and run down the street to see whose stick got to the end of the street first. Simple but so much fun.

    I love jumping in puddles! My roommates and I used to do it in university when we needed to get out of the house! There is something so freeing about it.

    Thanks so much for featuring me on Wednesday Wiggles! I'm so excited that you think I'm Wiggle-worthy!

    I love jumping in puddles, and I think this post is perfect for today, since it's been rainy and gloomy here in Texas the past few days.

    My favorite music right now is the new Taylor Swift cd (big surprise there) and Sophie Madeleine (she plays the ukulele, which reminds me of summers in Hawaii, where my family lives).

    I've always wanted to jump in puddles too, but I have bad luck when it comes to rain...I wear the wrong pair of shoes. Hahahaha :)

    Thanks for wiggling me (that sounded a little silly)! ^__^ I definitely loved your playlist!

    xo, Michelle
