Today I was looking at the weather forecast like I always do, and it said there was a possible tornado today. Exciting huh? I casually mentioned it to Randy, and scoffed at the idea, we aren't getting a tornado today. My kids overheard our conversation and are now on tornado watch, and that is the ONLY thing they can talk about.
Things they have said or done.
They are currently running around with umbrellas at the current moment waiting for the breeze to pick up so they can fly away with the tornado.
Each child is now in charge of watching one door to see if it is coming. (Obviously we only have two doors that go directly outside. Good thing.. we don't have enough kids.)
Any slight change in breeze they are sure a tornado is coming.. or as Little Miss says the Twister is coming.
Little Man really wants to see a tornado. But he doesn't want it to blow away our home. We would lose all of our money then.
Little Man has been explaining to me that "it takes a little while to Breeze up in Indiana. Once it breezes up we will get a tornado. But if there is a tornado our house will fly off the ground and be spinning, and we will be in a new place where we don't know anyone."
The kids are anxiously awaiting the tornado.. and want to see it.
Little Miss is sure that we could move back by Grandma if the twister came.
Little Man is currently leaving a message on Grandma and Grandpa's answering machine that will probably alarm them. This is what they will hear. "Hello Grandma and Grandpa. It's me, Little Man. We have a chance of getting a tornado.. I am sure we will. But I said a prayer that we wouldn't. But I am pretty scared we are going to get one. And if we do it will scare me. Okay. Bye." Awesome message to get when you get home from Church. He knows how to guarantee a call back from them today. (Smart boy.)
We have tried to explain that we aren't going to have one today. The sirens aren't on. We aren't on a watch.. we just happened to see there was a chance of a tornado today. But I am sure this won't be the end of Tornado Watch 2009.

well that just sounds like a party. Maybe if you're lucky you'll all get to see one like you wanted :). I hope the kids aren't really too scared, also that they are willing to give up their guard duty by bed time.
I have no desire to ever see a tornado!
HAH HAH! That cracks me up! Did you show them the news coverage of the tornados that hit in southern IN? On second thought that might not be such a good idea?....
Tornados seriously freak me out. I hope that Tornado Watch 2009 continues to be uneventful :)
