Rainy Days

It's been storming the past couple of days. We've been trying to stay home, but school and activities call and we have to go out in the rain.  Dragging kids around in the rain is definitely no fun, but we manage to survive. Here are some tips off the top of my head.

First tip, forget the umbrella.  It's useless, your hands are full enough with kids and gear.  

Second tip, get decent kiddie rain gear...waterproof jacket and boots.  Nothing worst than a wet and whiney kid.  

Third tip, get some good rain gear for yourself too, especially when you will be standing outside the car being pounded by the rain while you rip off kiddie rain coats and buckle squirmy kids into their carseats. I often forget myself, but soaked and whiney mommy no good either.  

Fourth tip, forget the stroller, just grab your kids and gear and run! LOL

Stay dry everyone!
