"What's with the rain boots?"

I'm sure you've noticed that the twins seem to always be wearing their red (lady bug and car) rain boots whenever they're playing outside. Well, you're right. This habit began when we didn't have any sod in our backyard; just mud. Our backyard was a huge mud pit and the boots were perfect. They would put them on by the back door, play out in the mud, come back in, and leave their boots at the back door again. Then, we got some sod and the yard was beautiful, but G & V were already hooked on wearing the boots every single time we went outside. So, that's what's up with the boots.
