spring weather

Despite all the upbeat posts about Easter Egg hunts, brunches, smoked turkey, etc., we've had our share of scary spring-time weather. The boys still think it's an adventure to snuggle up in our powder room (the only room in our home with no outside walls/windows) but Mama & Daddy are a little weary from it. I should probably put together a "tornado kit" with diapers and snacks as May is supposed to be the height of tornado season. So far we've been grabbing a blanket to sit on, the boys' blankies and pillows, the laptop for movies and a bottle for Jacob. We keep the weather radio and flashlights handy. Last night was the first time we've lost power (for about 6 hours) and so we also got out the candles. Below is a picture of a tornado that passed within a few miles of our home. We're so thankful that the only thing we lost was the power for a few hours.
