It is officially time to buy an...

Umbrella.  Last Thursday we had a huge rainstorm roll in right as I was trying to get the girls into the car to take Alexandra to preschool.  I opened the door that leads from the kitchen into the garage and the garage door then went back to put Sophi in her car seat.  While I was buckling her up Alexandra decided to head out to the car on her own.  When I got into the garage I saw Alexandra standing out in the pouring rain.  Instinctively I yanked her back into the garage and she looked at me, shocked.  I then put Sophi into the car and then buckled Ali in.  While I was composing myself, dripping wet, Ali said to me in her little matter of fact voice "Mom, its just rain".  I had to laugh to myself because that is exactly what I would have said to her is she had been upset over getting wet.  Oh how the tables turn so easily and unexpectedly!
Needless to say, I do need to purchase an umbrella in order to better handle the combination of rain, 2 kiddos and a long haul from the parking lot to preschool.

i laughed when you told this to me. i love playing/dancing in the rain. infact it rains so much here in the fall (so i have been told) i decided in needed a pair of rain boots to go with my umbrella.
