Windy Stormy Weather

Monday was not a fun day around here. The wind blew like crazy! The electricity went out at 9:00 in the morning! Jaycee was having a hard time understanding that! She kept going to her room and flipping the light switch! She would come find me and say my light is broke, Mommy! I would try to explain what had happened! Then she would ask to watch cartoons and I would tell her that the tv wouldn't turn on! Then she would reply Daddy needs to fix it! I told her this problem was much bigger than what Daddy could fix. In her little world, Daddy can fix everything so she wouldn't accept that as an answer. To let you know how strong the wind was, our wagon wheel that sets on our front porch the glass from it was picked up by the wind and shattered on front lawn!

So Byron got home around 4:00 we packed the kids and dogs up. We were off to Nana and Papa's house for a sleepover! Jaycee of course just thought this was the best thing ever. So we arrived and Nana made Dutch Babies for us all! Which Jaycee calls them pancake babies! She loves them! We all had a great time watching the Seahawks win and just hanging out! We got up Tuesday morning and did a little shopping with Nana. We went the Yeager's. (Not quite sure that is the correct spelling) They have an entire floor dedicated to toys! So we had a wonderful time! We got some great deals and Jaycee played the whole time with the toy train set that they had on display! We went to the mall as well, to pick up a few items. Along the way we lost Jaycee's favorite blanket! She didn't actually miss it until we got home. When we were loading up from the mall is when I realized it! Of course, I was heart-broken! So I went back into the mall, but it hadn't turned up at the lost and found. By the time I got home, I called the mall and someone had turned it in. Thank you, Jesus for answering that prayer! So last night Marilee went back to the mall and picked it up! So Jaycee tells me now that her blue blanky is at Nana's house. Yes, its safe with Nana.

So the beginning of our week has been lots of fun! The kids have had fun and now its back to our routine and I get to clean some house today! YAY!

Ahhh...your first lost blankie adventure! I still remember those days and now relive them through your kids! I know how precious (and priceless) those blankies are! Marilee said it was such fun having you overnite during the storm...precious memories you're making! Sounds like you hit the mother lode at the toy store...too fun! :o)
