Storms, storms, and more storms

This has been a crazy week for storms in our area. Wednesday night, I arrived at the church to get ready to do some ABF stuff and start decorating for VBS and the sky turned dark and everyone headed home. Ted had the girls at swim lessons and called me and said we had a bad storm coming. At the church, as I was leaving, we got a call that there was a tornado that had hit very close to where we were, so I made a quick escape and got home and Ted and the girls were right behind me. We entered the house and stood in the bedroom while Ted walked around unplugging everything. It was raining and the wind howled and then lightning struck somewhere near our home. We all jumped about 3 feet in to the air it seemed...Really loud....Micah yelled, "Take Cover!" Of course, her idea of taking cocer is hiding under the covers in our bed. LOL!! She was making us all laugh of course in the midst of being a bit afraid.
So, the storm passed and all was well.

The next night we had more thunder and some more rain, but nothing major.

Friday night, we were at swim lessons and the sky got dark again...we finished there and headed to the park where the kids were going to meet and play....(A planned Children's Ministry time....and when we drove up, we heard it was cancelled., so we start driving home and we are sitting at a stop light and a big crack of lightning went across the sky and Micah said, "Mom, it looked like th sky was just cracking up!" Then she laughed! Oh, the funny things that girl says.

Today, it's been hot, humid, and a fun day. Stay away storms!! You scare us.
