Today after I picked Lydia up from school, we went to the Library.  We checked out 6 books, 2 movies, and then had a picnic lunch outside.   I could see that rain was probably coming, so when I felt a few sprinkles, I hurried to gather our things and we began to walk to the car (which was far away). About 10 steps away from the building, it started pouring. POURING.  I was running as best I could with Molly in my arms and the diaper bag on my shoulder... Molly was laughing and laughing!  She thought it was so funny.   Meanwhile Lydia was about 25 feet behind me, alternating between walking and running along the sidewalk, probably the slowest she ever has, and trying to decide if she wanted to freak out or laugh or cry or what.   And of course I'm yelling at her that's it's okay and it's funny and don't worry, it's just rain and HURRY UP, Lydia! Do you see Mommy's car? Run to Mommy's car! Anyway, we got in the car, got strapped in, and everyone was completely soaked to the skin. I convinced Lydia that it was funny (although I wasn't so sure myself), and she got over it quickly.  Ah, memories...



And...the after shot. I dried them off a bit with Molly's extra clothes that I had in the diaper bag!  I have everything under the sun in that bag...except an umbrella.
