6:30 Friday night

Starting to get pretty windy, got some on and off sprinkles... we just watched the movie Miracle to distract us a bit (first time we've had time to watch a movie in two weeks). We've got some cookies ready now too.
We got to know some neighbors, we all hung out and chatted in the street for some time. Only one house in our neighborhood boarded their windows. Fortunately its a new enough development that there aren't a ton of trees. I am a little worried about the porta-potty down the street;).
It's fun to look out the window into our backyard because the grass is so tall and the slightest wind looks SO dramatic. It's also fun looking at the trees and figuring out which way the the wind is blowing- one tree will be blowing one way, then two trees down, blowing another way. With the way the lower clouds are moving I feel like I'm in a snow globe someone just shook up.

The projected path no longer goes through my subdivision, so that's nice:). Abc13.com says the forecast for my neighborhood is: "Sustained winds 60-90 mph, 5-10" rain with flooding in poor drainage areas, isolated tornadoes." Becky sent this link, kind of fun to see all the coverage.

I don't anticipate sleeping a lot tonight.We've got some Dr Mario on Game Boy ready:).

Lucy just figured out something is up and has gone a little crazy. About ten minutes ago she just snapped and has gone a little haywire.
