Last night, we went to see Wall-E again at the movie theater. It was a beautiful evening, so we decided to walk. When we got out of the movie and started walking home, the sky opened and released about 2 inches of rain. Caleb decided to crawl into the bottom of the stroller because he didn't want to get wet. I don't know how he fits into that basket, but he did. I'm in flip flops, my feet are slipping the whole way, I can't see anything in front of me because the rain is coming down so hard, the wind is blowing, and Caleb is yelling at me that he has a "boo boo" that he got yesterday....which was none existent to begin with....is hurting now because the wind is hitting it. Did I have an umbrella?? No! But I had extra clothes for Caleb and Riley, I had several bottles, about 2 dozen diapers, and a small grocery store in my diaper bag. All I could do was laugh. I laughed the whole way home. I didn't run, I didn't stop in an overpass, I didn't wait it out in the store, I just walked and laughed. I felt like I was in a comedy and I was the main character. The one thing I can say about being a mom is that there is never a dull moment. I'm never bored and I'm never without a good laugh.
Here's Caleb in the basket.
Riley didn't even know that it had rained. He was asleep and didn't wake up till we got home and the light woke him. There wasn't a drop of water on him.
As far as the movie, I think Caleb liked it better the second time around. He was so loud in the theater yelling for "Wall-Wee". It was too cute. I think Wall-E is his all time favorite movie. We will definitely be adding it to our collection when it comes out on DVD.

I love it. I did the same thing with Lizzie last week when I took her to her Panera (her new favorite). It wasn't a long walk home and it was all down hill, but being pregnant I couldn't exactly move quickly. I actually saw people chuckling on their balconies as I walked by. I was laughing too though I'm sure I was quite a sit waddling along in the rain with my belly getting wet before the rest of me because it stuck out so far!
It is the comedy hour and you are the main character. Didn't you know we each have our own show? I love it!!
I think it's great that you laughed about your predicament. It sounds a little stressful to me or a lot!
You are so much fun! And I just read the military wife poem-how beautiful!
