Last weekend was bus-yyyy. We had 2 birthday parties and a soccer game to attend, all starting at 9:30am! That is early for us!!!
And, it rained….Of course, we weren’t expecting it, so after the second party (Mattias’ and Owen’s 4th) bday celebration, Tom had to just drop off Dylan and me off at the soccer game while he went back home to pick up umbrellas.
Soccer games are apparently “on” in inclement weather unless there’s danger…like lightning or something! So, poor Dylan (and the rest of his team) had to suck it up and just run and kick like usual. Actually, the kids didn’t mind one iota…! And, even I could content myself with sharing temporary space under another mom’s umbrella, but once Tom arrived with the girls, things got a bit tougher. Chloe needed a nap (so, of course, she wanted to nurse and by this time, my jacket was pretty wet) and Cameron was none too happy either!! And, Tom was pretty much at rope’s end carrying Chloe in one arm and umbrella in the other. As soon as he got to us, he chucked the umbrella to the ground and passed Chloe to me!
It was clear I wouldn’t be able to nurse Chloe comfortably outside, so I took both girls with me back to the car and I tried watching the game from the car!
Naturally, the rain stopped not too long before the game ended!!
Despite the bad weather, the kids had fun…I just felt a little bad that we couldn’t stay at Cameron’s buddies’ party for too long!
