This morning we headed out to go to swim practice and then voluntary cross country practice. Right after the swim practice drop off, lightning flashed across the sky. Clearly there was no point in cross country, so we drove around the block. Thomas has always been afraid of storms, so I hate to be too far. There was intermittent thunder and lightning for the next half hour, and at 8:30 I decided that we were heading home. Practice is supposed to end at 9, and we have to wait 30 minutes before getting in the water. As we walked in the house, Catherine excitedly announced it was time to put the jammies back on. I would have like to disagree, but after checking the weather forecast, I can't argue with her. It has been a solid, soaking rain for the last two hours, and is the perfect day to just watch some movies and play some boardgames.
Unfortunately, that isn't going to be the case. The kids are scheduled to have a swim meet tonight, and they don't like to just cancel. So we will be spending our evening in the rain, waiting out thunder and lightning and probably getting rather wet in the process...just like last Thursday evening!
