As you probably know, yesterday was a day full of “severe weather” here in Oklahoma. The weathermen predicted that we’d have historic tornadoes. It was a little scary, but luckily we were not in the path of the tornadoes! You never know though, so we have our 72 Hour kits ready to go! Here’s what we have in them....water bottles, books, blanket, snack bags (filled with crackers, fruit leather, choc. ensure shakes, protein bars, candy, granola bars, graham crackers) change of clothes, cash, MRE meal, (not excited about that!) family information sheet with our address, contact numbers (mine has copies of our utility bill for proof of residence as well as copies of our birth certificates) flashlights, bag of games (uno, sudoku, crossword puzzles, pit, old maid, go fish) We also have our jackets and umbrellas ready to go, just in case. We don't have a shelter but our friends do and we have our spot reserved! READY FOR THE TORNADO PARTY!!! :)
Lydia asked me while we were in the middle of the “watch”, "Isn't the tornado coming so we can go to the Hammer's house?' I told her hopefully not because our house could be hit and where would we live? Her answer..."We could live in a Tent! Let's go to the Hammer's!" :) She has asked me several times today too, if the Tornado was coming so we could go to Sara’s house! My goal last year was NOT to freak my kids out so we made it a “Tornado Party!” and now they’re excited when it happens. I guess that’s ok if you’re prepared which we finally are…it only took us 10 years!

I was thinking about you all weekend, praying for no "parties" at your place. So glad you're all safe!
