IRENE

Lots of talk about Hurricane Irene in our house. The kids of course know something is going on but don't really get it. Some of the talk includes: As we are in the backyard putting all the toys in the shed, Luke: "Is the storm stronger than my ATV? Is it stronger than the tree and the house? Where will the spiders and worms go when the storm comes?" Paige: "I better go inside, the storm will be scared of me" - certainly not the other way around! The best is that for some reason Luke keeps mixing up the word hurricane with the word diarrhea. He has done this 3 times today. "Mommy, is this going to be a huge diarrhea?"

Kids were not at all happy about having to stay in all day -
