It Was Sunny

I looked at the forecast today and for the next couple weeks our temperatures should be in the 40's or above with some sunshine. Seeing that is like seeing a little piece of heaven!  It has been COLD and dreary here!  And since I got off of work a tad early, and the sun was out, I picked Kate up from school and we immediately set out for a walk.  The only route to "walk" is to the park, so that's where we headed.

Off on our walk!  Kate insisted on bringing her baby
and her sunglasses!

What I failed to grasp was the fact that these so called 40+ degree days weren't supposed to start until tomorow.  So our current "in the 20's" temperatures still felt really cold even though the sun was out.

Fortunately I had brought a hat and gloves for Kate.
I failed to bring anything other than my coat for me.

And with the wind that was blowing, it made it feel even colder.  While our house was still in sight, I almost turned us both around and called it a day but decided it would really mean a lot to Kate if we could hang outside for a little bit.  Plus, she appeared to be much warmer.

Baby, however, was not, according to Kate, so she kept
Baby warm. Yeah, I didn't come prepared.

We ended up calling Brian to pick us up in his warm car since it was so cold and hunkered down in the near by library until he got there.

#cold.  That's all I got.

Did I mention that today was pajama day at school so Kate had pajama bottoms on?  I'm sure those were real warm.  Did I also mention 5 minutes into our walk I realized she needed a new diaper but didn't have any with us?  Yeah, she ended up walking to the park with a smelly bum and proceeded to get this awful chaffing lesion in her nether regions.

I guess I should've called this post "Mommy of the Year Award".  But I named it my excuse instead.  All of this happened because it was sunny.

I was dupped.
