sarahmichelefEvery weather oracle we consulted about this past weekend said the same thing:
Here's what we got:
We made our weekend plans based on the forecast, though, which meant that we thought we were going to be able to go to the pool on Sunday afternoon (and in fact told TRex as much... thankfully her memory is short). Saturday we did our normal shopping in the morning, had lunch and TRex napped, and then we figured we'd use the crappy day to go up to the outlets and look for clothes for TRex for next summer, since everybody's got end-of-season clearances on. As it turned out, we didn't find anything really great for her (just a couple of cute little dresses) but I did manage to convince M that yes, $12.50 for a short-sleeved shirt from Eddie Bauer was a very good price. So in the end, I was the only one that came home from our shopping trip empty-handed.
And then it was crappy on Sunday, too, so we took TRex to the playground at the mall and she ran around and followed the big kids and climbed and so on until a bigger kid (probably 3 or maybe 4) decided that pushing her down was fun (and his parents were sitting there watching and doing exactly nothing about it - I was about to have a talk with the kid myself) and she was getting tired anyway so we left.
And yesterday we went to the library and played with a boy named Sam and brought home two books and a CD and ever since we've been listening to "Where is Thumbkin?" on infinite repeat. "Fumk! Fumk!" *thumbwaggle*
Crappy and rainy on Saturday, rainy Sunday morning but clearing and warm in the afternoon. Warm and dry on Monday.
Here's what we got:
Crappy and cloudy on Saturday, but no rain. Downpours Sunday until about 3:30 pm, then warm and disgustingly humid. Crappy and cloudy with intermittent rain all day Monday.
