But this week, the weather has been more Spring-like, with storm fronts like this moving in and out. This was off our back deck this afternoon and while we didn't have any tornadoes, there were watches and warnings all around us. I have this love-hate relationships with twisters...I'd *love* to see one up close, but not actually have it anywhere nearby. Figure that one out.
The kiddos are on summer break officially... I adopted another blogger's summertime strategy of laying some ground rules... ie: no friends until after 11- until then, we get our "stuff" done...jobs, school work, breakfast, etc. So far, so good.
The other day they had been getting along, but the rain was keeping them indoors and for some reason, they like to gravitate towards my room when they're bored. (Okay- that "some reason" happens to be a large TV). So after the 3rd episode of Tom and Jerry, I told them to go find something to do, Or Else....
So they did:
It's their mascot. I can't remember what they named him. her? it?
Dallin with his teacher Ms. C-
And Ms. C's assistant Mrs. S.
Natty and Mrs. V.
Since children, getting to take in cultural events is a rare treat, but a good friend and I were able to go see The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater when they were touring in Louisville. They said not to take pictures in the auditorium. But we did. Of ourselves. We figured that didn't count. Yep. Rebels. 
And about the show: AWESOME. Period. Here's a brief glimpse from a past performance:
I'd go see that show again and again. Loved. It.

Your kids always crack me up! VERY creative!! You're lying when you say they get into mischief, they are always very well behaved when I'm around.
BTW- did you know that Katy is friends with one of my friends here? I've seen her comment on both of your blogs. Small world.
It was great to see you cute guys!! Hope you're having a great time at Sammys!
And midwest Summer thunderstorms are the best! Although twisters are a little scary. I'm pretty sure I don't want to see one up close. Sorry.
