Storm watch...

These are the clouds that scared me. You can kinda see the cirlce of clouds in the middle. They started to spin together (as if about to form a funnel) which freaked us out.

These ones just looked awesome..



These pics are from a storm yesterday evening. I feel a little silly now, but I was fairly certain a tornado was gonna form right over our heads! Some of the clouds started to rotate in a circle, so in a rush I made J help grab the kids and dogs and headed up to aunt Nancy's house (b/c they have a basement and we do not.) It all passed with no harm done, but the clouds looked really awesome!

Holy Crap they'd scare me too! I haven't been near a tornado in years, and clouds still freak me out. It's just an eery feeling when tornadoes are forming.

Oh my gosh, I know what you mean! On Friday night I was positive a tornado was headed our way. What a crazy storm that was!

UHM, you really shouldn't wait until they look like that to head for cover! Not silly, those are exactly the kind to be afraid of!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
