Can you say "Excited About the Weather?"


Kind of embarrassing, but true!

It's 11pm on a school night, and we are all up,
cuz it's thunder-ing & lightning-ing & HAILING!

Wide awake with excitement, I tell you.

And taking pictures.



There it is -- real live hail --
trying to go down the drain on the pool deck -- WOW!


Yep - Porter's up,
in his jammies, winter coat . . . and wait, no flip flops?
Well, he was in a really big hurry to hold some before it melted. Duh.
Can you blame him?
Now GET BACK IN BED!
(sure, mom, but I'm not going to sleep, i gotta count the seconds between the thunder & lightning, and then multiply it by 3 to see how far away it is...)


Oh my gosh, there's hail on my hood -- quick, grab the camera!

OK...all is quiet again
time for bed, again

And, for the record, Jake HATES all this weather we are having.
Scares the little (cat) dog to death.

I think it's pretty fun, for a change,
but only for this week, k?

(so grateful for my cozy, dry house)

nighty night :-)

We were excited here too! We had a bit of hail also, but Jack was the only one who came out of his bed to see it. Pete and I were on the couch watching The Office. I have some other photos and stuff from the weather week, I'll have to use yours as well, they're great! Thunderbolt and lightening was very very exciting!

That is exciting. I love a good storm but am always happy when it's over. Hail is so loud! No wonder everyone was up. I'm glad you all survived;)
