When it rains it pours

I so often blog about our family and the kiddos, after all the name is Five and a Dog. This weekend my good friend Ami came down to visit us and spend a long weekend. So today I'm blogging about my afternoon/evening with Ami. Almost the whole time she has been here it's been raining or at least misty, foggy and cold. Yesterday we went shopping and of course right as we headed out of Khol's it started to POUR and we got SOAKED. Well as the saying goes "when it rains, it pours" --this could not have been more true. When we got to the Explorer we found that the battery was not working properly, so after a couple of calls to Guy we figured out what to do and got it under control but not after our clothes were completely soaked. You'd have thought that that might have put an end to our shopping trip but no, off to Target we headed. The rain had mostly subsided to a drizzle by this point but again when we got out of Target the battery wasn't working quite right. So Ami was kind enough to go "fix" the problem while I tried to start the car, needless to say I pulled up so far, in our VERY close parking spot--something that never happens at Target, that she had to jump over and basically in the bushes to get to the hood. Then to make matters worse apparently I forgot to say ok and our communication was lacking as I tried to start the car and sparks were flying-- in the end no damage was done just a surprised Ami, but the car started and we headed home to get warm and some food and drink. The whole experience was a good opportunity to share a good laugh and create a funny memory with a great friend.
