Storm Safety & Sirens


We are practicing storm safety. If it is windy and loud rumbles, we get to the storm safe area in our home. We talk about listening for the tornado siren, and going to our storm safe area.

So at breakfast, I was talking with Leah about the loud thunder and rumbling we heard last night. It woke me and I thought we may need to go to our storm safe area. Leah said yes, the wind makes a mess all over, and we hear the potato siren! We do not want the potato siren to get our caterpillar (giant stuffed toy), I will cover him with a blanket so he can hide from the storm.

We are also practicing T sounds, for Tornado siren.

Toothpaste nabber!


Leah and Jack did a great job setting up their rooms and the Toy area of the family room. Up the steps to their rooms, down the steps to the family room, playing and transporting toys and having fun.

Leah and Jack kept busy traveling the stairs and playing. This also gave Karen and I the chance to unpack and set up the rest of the home. We listened to them while we worked, hearing the usual laughing, bouncing about, and the occasional "hey that's my toy!"

All work and play came to a halt (and sent Karen and I scrambling) when we heard Leah say three words, "Jack has toothpaste."

New Neighborhood!


We are in our new home! Still unpacking and setting up our living space, and exploring our new neighborhood. Leah and Jack have found a great park that is just a 20 minute hike away. Good fun and good exercise. And our move is done!
