Every morning after Sebastian has risen at some ungodly hour of the early morning slash basically still nighttime he has a little ritual that makes perfect sense. He devours his instant oatmeal, checks if Julia and Theo are awake (never -- because they are 100% human and not 80% vamp like he is), tells me to "shhhhhhhhhhhh" because they are still asleep, and then goes and puts on his rain boots. Or Julia's rain boots. Or one of his and one of Julia's - whatever combination he knows will make her the most angry and spit her usual morning dragon breath because Bash loves a good show.
Not my point. Simon has mentioned once or twice that he never gets in on the blogging giveaway/review action and has suggested that maybe a golf company might be interested in taking a peek at the Camp. Laugh. I can do you one better, Patton. Wellies. Joules recently started shipping their awesome stuff to the states (I've had the link to their scarves open for several days now) and generously sent the big kids and Simon each a pair of kickbottom rain boots. Don't think I didn't show Simon photos of the royal princes for style inspiration because I did. Let's see how he did ...
(Well first ... this picture. It was actually raining to make the photo super authentic and Julia was like "catch duh wain, Bash!!!" and Bash was like ............... "enthusiasm is my favorite.")
The kids love their boots or their "boooooooooooooo" as Bash enunciates so smartly and Simon even didn't argue too much when I asked that he not tuck the boots under his pants (?).
Vant un pair? I thought so. Joules is giving away a pair to one lucky reader (any pair! girls, boys, mens, or womens!) ... don't tell me you don't love these. Don't - because they are my favorite in a size 8.
Just Rafflecopter your way to victory and many thanks to Joules for being so kind!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
I'd love a pair!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was dying for a pair of the Evedon ones, so I finally bought a pair of red ones as my "goodbye England" gift to myself before we moved back. But while the printed wellies (in the beagles or the navy stripes) have always turned my head, I think I'd go for classic bright yellow in the posh wellies- what's more classic than yellow wellies?!?
ReplyDeleteOh those are so cute! I love the flowered ones.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and fun
ReplyDeleteUm... yes please. I have never had a pair and always wanted one!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow ones. So I can look like the Morton Salt Girl!
DeleteI tweeted about this giveaway here: https://twitter.com/GesciM/status/349265448484876296
ReplyDeleteI love the flower patterned ones!
ReplyDeleteI love the little kids' boots so much!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose a fave, but I have to go with the classic navy stripe.
ReplyDeleteI love the Milly boots with the big pink bows on them!
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to pick just ONE pair?!!?!?!?! Impossible giveaway - but I'm in.
ReplyDeleteThe women's pair with the little foxes on them — so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the Posh black ones or the navy stripe!
ReplyDeleteYay yay for British wellies (from a Brit)!. I would love the women's spotted wellies, or the blue glossy ones if I were brave.
ReplyDeleteum the striped ones are slaying me! love love love.
ReplyDeletePink Spot...I think. they're all cute!
ReplyDeleteI really love the posh welly in pink but I think black would be more practical. Thanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteI love the navy stripe weekli!
ReplyDeleteI like the pink spot or navy stripe pairs! So cute!

ReplyDeleteI like the navy floral printed ones. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I could really use these in our new back yard!

ReplyDeleteWelly Print Navy Multi. so cute. Even though I never win these things....!
ReplyDeleteMoving forward, I think Simon ought to just be referred to as St. Simon. Aaron would KILL ME if I ever tried to get him into a pair of rain boots. I'm impressed that he was a willing and smiling (!!) subject.
ReplyDeleteI shared on Twitter because I want to be the Morton Salt Girl. https://twitter.com/SnarkeeMcGee/status/349279177586900992
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable! Love the pink stripe!!
ReplyDeleteI love the floral print ones!
ReplyDeleteOk, it doesn't even rain where I live and I want those little flower ones for my daughter...cute outweighs function...yes? I don't think I could get my husband to wear a pair...ever...but then again, he's an engineer and so the flow-chart that is his brain couldn't handle to idea of wellies where it doesn't rain. I, on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteLove them all!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love all of the choices. Could definitely use them this summer in the rainy Midwest!
ReplyDeleteBoy truck boots. They'd die.
ReplyDeleteLove the boots. Any pair would be great!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and white striped boys boots with red soles!
ReplyDeleteHOW SWEET are these pictures?
ReplyDeletestriped, polka dotted, bright yellow.... I would probably be happy with just about any of them!
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker for stripes ... especially navy & white! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI would totally wear those hot pink boots. (Although too bad they don't have purple. ;) ) And those scarves are lovely.
ReplyDeleteAhh so cute! You have a great family! :) Love the boots.

ReplyDeletecute kiddos.
ReplyDeleteyour blog is my favorite and i live for you posts. thanks for being hilarious! and thanks for the giveaway! I loveee the womens green posh rain boots!
ReplyDeleteI was considering asking if they carried Julia's boots in women's sizes until I saw the pair you had linked. Amazing. Also, "enthusiasm is my favorite" made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeletepink and polka dots. please and thank you
ReplyDeleteshared it on fbook! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the women's premium rain boots in black! The bow does me in.
ReplyDeleteThese are very cute! I think I would selfishly have to pick a pair for myself if I win. That way I wouldn't have to hear my five beautiful children fight because one of them got a super cute pair of rain boots.
ReplyDeleteShared on the FB: https://www.facebook.com/eqfloyd
ReplyDeleteI have been drooling over their boots for MONTHS!!! ahh!
ReplyDeleteI don't need the boots but I just wanted to comment on my two favorite little people. I want to catch rain with Julia! I love her face...so precious!
ReplyDeleteThat's all...have fun with the giveaway!
it's a toss up between the junior seafarer boots in blue or yellow... i don't want to pick. they are both really cute!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love all the striped ones. You can never have too many wellies.
ReplyDeleteAlso! I tweeted! https://twitter.com/haileyecarlson/status/349295332372393985
ReplyDeleteYellow!
ReplyDeleteYour captions kill me. I love the floral print ones.

ReplyDeleteLoving the trucks
ReplyDeleteDYING over the boots with the fox print. I would give them a good home!
ReplyDeleteI love these wellies!!!
ReplyDeleteI know they'd get hijacked, but I'd love any and every blue pair!
ReplyDeletepick me!! I like the floral boots for my little one : )
ReplyDeletei want a yellow pair for myself! :)
ReplyDeleteWellies with bows? How did I miss wellies growing up to be so fancy and fun? I would love a pair!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter really wants a pair of red rainboots. We were just talking about it today, it's serendipity!
ReplyDeleteBut of course! I've always wanted a grown-up pair of rain boots. Because I'm selfish that way and my girls would only fight over who got the gifted boots if I picked a kids' pair.
ReplyDeleteSo....you want me to pick just one??!? It's a toss-up between the navy stripe, pink spot and navy dot. Really, it' a toss-up between all of them but I suppose you want me to narrow it down.
ReplyDeleteSo I shared on FB but I don't know how to link? I'm really sorry, I promise i did. Here's the link to my page but not the specific post. https://www.facebook.com/katie.patterson.376

ReplyDeleteThose floral rainboots are too cute!

ReplyDeleteI love these wellies! Would love a pair!
ReplyDeleteI would love a pair!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're all so cute I can't decide! But if I had to narrow it down, I'd say either the Welly Print Navy Stripe or the Green Posh Welly.

ReplyDeleteoh my. these are lovely. how to choose??
ReplyDeleteshoskinsfam at yahoo dot com
Get this, I live in the Northwest and don't own a pair of rain boots. Crazy, I know! These boots would be totally perfect for this Washington weather we get practically year-round!
ReplyDeleteI have desperately wanted to get myself some rain boots for ages! Would love a pair of these... :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would rain if I had rain boots. Maybe if they were cute rain boots like these. We really need the rain.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the navy polka dots or the navy striped.
DeleteThose green ones with the pink stripe in the back are aces. Or the black and white striped ones (but would hey make my feet look fat? Horizontal stripes and all.)
ReplyDeleteLove the pink spot Welly Print!
ReplyDeletei would choose the posh rain
ReplyDeleteWant. These. Now.

ReplyDeletetwitter post: https://twitter.com/KTBeann/status/349352531815694337
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and white polka dot.
ReplyDeleteLove the shark wellies for boys!
ReplyDeleteSlightly embarrassed I only comment on giveaways - but you have great ones and I can't resist. That being said - half the wellies didn't show up on my page, but I'm slightly fascinated with the wellibobs. Not sure if the real-life-me-wearing version would come off very well, but they're more fun than the hunter green plain rain boot I'd probably go for.
ReplyDeleteIn LOVE with the red striped pair. And it might actually rain once in a while in North Carolina, right?
ReplyDeleteLove the navy stripes!
ReplyDeletepink stripe and/or navy multi! love rain boots. need some.
ReplyDeleteRain boot, Green Fox Welly print!
ReplyDeleteOh man. So in love with the "Multstr Welly" version. I'm thinking that means "multi-stripe"?
ReplyDeleteI shared on Twitter!
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/lizluscomb/status/349360735471681539
I do love them, I do!
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the pink polka dots - rain boots are a little pointless in Arizona, so why not just go all crazy-like and get something loud like them?
ReplyDeleteoh. my. word. I NEED a pair of these! Awesome give-away!!

ReplyDeleteReally diggin' the red and white stripe or floral on black ones.

ReplyDeleteYay for Simon getting in on the fun! I'm loving the yellow, green, and the pink!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the Posh in pink you linked. Also love the Welly Print Red Stripe.
ReplyDeleteI do love those pink posh wellies. And the blue striped welly prints. Or if I was feeling generous, I'd get my son the blue striped wellies. But I don't think I could be that generous if I won...
ReplyDeleteI would love any of the little boy boots!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Navy FLoral boots! I want!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
