The Perfect Storm ... and The Not-So-Perfect Storm

The Perfect Storm

Last night was one of those nights were you love sleeping. We had soft storms all night. McCabe woke up at 6:15 am, but was clearly still very tired. So he and I went back up to my bed. Since he would roll off the bed unattended, I had the perfect excuse to sleep in!!!! McCabe and I slept in until 8:15, and Leighton woke up soon after at 8:30. I loved sleeping in a little bit too much!

The Not-So-Perfect Storm
The night before last night was a loud and more violent storm. Apparently there were a few spotted tornados that never touched down. 30,000 poeople lost power (not us!). There were 70 mile an hour winds. And there was a lot of tree damage. Leighton and McCabes play house outside have traveled several feet in the yard and was tipped over. There were 3 large tree limbs down (Luke got to take an Ax to them to break them down), and several hundred smaller sticks and limbs (Leighton did a really good job at helping Luke). For the second week in a row, Luke got two back to back bee stings from doing yard work. I am so thankful that the kiddos haven't gotten stung yet. Below are some pictures from Luke and Leighton's yard clean-up.
