Well, Winter showed up at the very tail end of the season here in Oklahoma.
The last week or two we've had 2 or 3 snow days...
One of the days it didn't even start snowing till 5 or 6 in the evening, so it was just a free day for Blaine to relax and be with us. But because such a big "winter storm" was predicted, EVERYONE was off from school... just a day earlier than they needed to be. So we spent the day exercising, relaxing, and walking around Target. But when it DOES snow here, it pretty much shuts down the whole state here in Oklahoma since people aren't used to driving in it and the state doesn't have the resources and equipment to take care of it.
Then when school resumed after 2 days off and the snow had melted, Easton and I visited Blaine at school since he was working late in the lab. E even got to practice his dental skills.
And now we're enjoying beautiful Spring weather!
And here in the plains, Spring means TORNADO SEASON!
Last Spring was pretty quiet tornado-wise, but the year before,
we missed some major storms by less than a month.
Hopefully this year will be safe, as well.
Blaine's school is a shelter, but if a tornado hits and you don't hear from me,
come find me, Easton, and Jake in the bathtub under a bunch of blankets ;)
At the start of tornado season every year, the ladies at church have a preparedness refresher-- complete with festive cookies and party favors :)
