In the car on the way to school and it starts to rain. I realise that I forgot my coat. Oh well, at least the girls have theirs.
Get to school and sit in the car for 5 minutes waiting for the rain to stop.
It stops so we dash out, get 10 paces down the road and it literally starts to CHUCK down! Pick up toddler and attempt to use a carrier bag as an umbrella/hat.
Get to the end of the road and realise that 4yo's hood is down and coat is unzipped.
Get to school (on time at least!) and dd's special box of things to show her class has disintegrated, contents spill out including a page of colouring that she worked on all summer.
Somehow manage to bundle a drowned rat into her classroom, said goodbye and left with my screaming toddler.
Thankfully dd seemed remarkably cheerful about the whole thing but I feel awful! She was literally soaked...
