It rained today, which is a pretty big deal because this is only the second time it's rained in like 70+ days. Needless to say it's been a very dry summer. It wasn't just raining a little bit when we left the house, it was pouring. So much so that I actually got out coats for the kids, which I hardly ever do. It's just easier not to, and when it's only misting or drizzling, the coats just get wet and then bring the wet into the car and their car seats and make everything a mess.
I found this rain coat for Amanda. I bought it for my niece, Megan, when she was about Amanda's age. She is a senior in high school now. After Megan and her siblings used it and Andy was going through his "I love nothing more than Elmo" phase, my sister-in-law sent it to us. He used it and loved it, Sarah wore it a couple of times, and now it belongs to Amanda. Let's just say she did not want to take this off today.
If you look closely at the picture you can see two other things. First, the Elmo t-shirt showing under the coat, because there is never a day that she does not have an Elmo t-shirt on, even though she only has three. Second, her shoes are on the wrong feet. She put them on herself, so I can't complain, but really why do kids always do that?
In true old style rain coat fashion, when she finally did take it off she was all hot and sweaty. That thing does not breathe at all. Luckily, she didn't care one bit. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of use out of this coat.
