Umbrella

A while ago at Rubie's school they had "bring a rainy day item to share day" and one of the children brought an umbrella (of course). After that, all Rubie talked about was umbrellas. She wanted one. bad. Ramon and I knew this would not be good - so we avoided the subject. Damn the Walmart. They had an Ariel one for 6 bucks right in Rubie's line of sight. Rubie LOVED it. She twirled, and sang, and danced with her umbrella.......for then entire 24 hours that she had it. It now sits at the top of our closet, where it will stay until it is actually raining. Turns out chasing the dog with an umbrella, hitting the dog with an umbrella, and opening the umbrella in the house will put the umbrella in time out UNTIL.NEXT.YEAR.

Now, all she has is a picture to remember the good times...
