February Thunderstorm!

I used to want to be a meteorologist.  I subscribed to some meterologist email list in HS and became the resident weather informant for the WCHS Softball team (Go Lynx!).  I'm a nerd.  I love weather, Doppler, and Casey's got the NWS bookmarked, so he's cool too.  So you can see how I was totally excited about our recent Iowa weather craziness.  So I can't believe it really happened (had to ask Casey if I was having a weird dream last night!) but we enjoyed a good ol' Iowa thunderstorm early this morning, on February 20th!  There were some serious lightening strikes followed by some angry sounding thunder.  The only little one to peep was Jacie, she informed us before she went to bed that she DOES NOT like thunder, and she heard in the car on the radio that the man said the word THUNDER.  Casey took them on a sprinkled donut run so they'd have some tasty treats for Sunday morning and he's a talk radio junkie, so she heard the weather en route.  This girl does not miss a thing.  So she called in Daddy for some reassurance, and he reassured her that he would check the Doppler (she told him to).  :)

This has got our family ITCHING for spring!  Who isn't, I know!  But seriously it makes me so thankful that God gave us the changing seasons, as much as I tell Casey that I could live in Seattle where it's rainy and 55 degrees all day everyday, I do love seeing how God gives us a break always right when we feel like we can't take it any longer.  He's cool like that.  :)

So the girls are keeping us busy and laughing...they're full of life all of the time.  How they can jump off their bed first thing in the morning going 90 miles an hour, I will never get.  I'm good around 10AM.  No sooner.  Just ask Casey.  :)

So Tinker Toys for this fam equals COOKING SHOWS and MICROPHONES.  :)  Pretty cool, I thought!

SLEDDING!  We seriously have the best sledding hill in our backyard, and Casey knows all the routes.  He has them memorized from when he was 10 years old.  :)
