We made it through the night, although with very little sleep to show for it!
I think we finally hauled everyone back up to bed around 1:00. The storms were relentless, coming in waves. Just when I would drift off to sleep, the room with light up from another gigantic sized lighting flash, and the whole house would be shaken by thunder. I could hear the metal light fixture on our front porch crashing into the side of the house as it swung in the crazy wind. It was a long night. LONG.
Thankfully, no water in the basement today ... yay sump pump!!
And school is carrying on as normal. There were a few schools in the area today that were either delayed or closed due to storm damage. I think most of them were south of us. So I would say they had an even longer night than we did.
The town where Lucas' family lives got hit by a tornado last night... I guess bits of their Wal-Mart are being discovered on the opposite side of town... never a great thing really. We heard from his mom last night, so I THINK everyone is okay. I hope.
I'll try to check back later with a post that's not weather-related. We have gymnastics tonight for both boys, so that will take up about 3 hours of my evening... so no promises on getting around to another post. I.WILL.TRY. Have a lovely day, and be thankful for all of the good in your life today!

I'm sorry you're having such crazy weather! Our kids slept right through it, except the baby, naturally. And no, finding pieces of Wal-Mart on the other side of town would be bad...
Love you! =D
