Kids and Tornadoes

Jacob pulled the printer out and then climbed up so he could grab the mouse. We're sure in for it with this little Houdini! That is not the first time he's done something like this.

We're enjoying the last months at our home and the park so close by! It is literally in our culdesac and there is never anyone there!

Jacob preferred the play set to the wood chips for his crawling. Poor guy still not walking, but he's getting there!

Michael loves the outdoors. A neighbor said they can hear Michael whenever he is outside. Even when their windows are shut. His open mouth and facial expression can probably give you an idea of the volume he is emitting.

Jacob is happiest when playing with his siblings and they love to play with him too. I love how as the older they each get, the more fun they have together.

Traffic jam!

Our town had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday! Due to some storm predictions, they had it indoors and you could not hear the directions at all. The teens running it wanted to do a red light, green light game with it, but even if we could hear them I doubt my two year old would have stopped when candy lay at his feet. (don't know if I could have either :-)

The favorite prizes were the candy wristwatches that they had the hardest time eating but still made dye everywhere!

Jacob was a bit overwhelmed with so much going on, and settled on clutching two eggs.

That storm prediction turned out to be over 62 tornado touchdowns that killed 22 people in North Carolina. We happened to be looking out at the rain and noticing that it started hailing while it was pouring and then I saw what looked like birds falling out of the sky and realized it was debris. We got to a safe spot and turned on the radio to hear that a tornado was just a few miles away. The tornado passed by, staying far enough away, and we didn't have major damage. We feel blessed to be with power this morning and heard that other members in our church are without and were borrowing saws to clear trees and major major damage. The tornado did go through Sanford as well and we have yet to find out if the office there is okay. A home improvement store a mile or so down the street from the office had its roof completely blown off and cars tossed like toys so I guess we'll see. After the storm the kids ran around in the puddles and Michael especially enjoyed getting muddy and soaked after having to sit still and wait out the storm.

My two little boys :-) Michael can't wait for Jacob to walk and tries to help him learn to walk.

Here's a video of my little explorers in our "forest" playing in the rain puddles with sticks.
