Monday at the Park

The last few days have been so gorgeous outside! Monday we spent the day at Forsyth with our playgroup. We had a picnic, flew kites, and the kids ran around and enjoyed just being outside. The fountain is dyed green for St.Patrick's Day. Before we left the park Lucas picked a few azaleas to put in a vase on our kitchen table.

Starting to Look Better (well for us)

It would be great if it kept turning and just went back in the ocean and didn't hit anyone else but I'm not freaked out anymore seeing the latest projected path.

Possible Upcoming Road Trip

We may be taking Lucas back to Vidalia for a visit sooner than we thought.

I Hate Hurricane Season

I've lived in Savannah on and off for about twenty years and I'm still not used to Hurricane season. I don't know why but Hurricane Hanna has got me FREAKED out! Ever since I've first heard about us being on the projected path I've been so anxious. I know that there is nothing I can do about it. I've been praying like crazy that it turns and doesn't come here but on one hand I feel silly praying about it because that means that it might hit places that other people live and like I think God should spare our house and not other peoples'. Maybe since everything is out of my control I should start praying for peace instead.

If the storm continues on the projected path and the call for a voluntary evacuation we are going to leave and not wait for the mandatory evacuation for several reasons. The first being that we live in a trailer and if a hurricane really does hit us I don't think it will still be standing after the storm. The second reason we will go is because I do not want to get stuck in traffic! When I was in high school there was a mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Floyd. It took us two hours to go from our house to the Savannah Mall (which would normally take about five minutes) and then several more hours before we got to my Grandma's house (which is usually less than 2 hours away.) It was a VERY long ride to go without food, water, or bathrooms. I'm going to avoid being stuck in traffic with a 3 year old (if at all possible.)

.

Tomorrow I plan on straightening up around the house and making sure anything we would need to grab and pack is easily accessible. November 30th can't come soon enough!

What the Hail?

We had a pretty bad thunderstorm this afternoon. We got a little hail at our house but other wise nothing major happened. Some of our "neighbors" are still without power.

Snow

It's Snowing!!!

It is finally snowing hard enough to stick. I took Lucas out for 2 seconds before bed just so he could see it and touch it and now snowflakes are all he can talk about. I can't wait to get home and post pictures tomorrow.

Conversation on Saturday morning

"Hey Kari, come out here on the porch with me."

"Hold on I'm doing something!"

"It's actually kind of chilly"

"Chilly? The weather channel says it is 79 degrees!"

"Well compared to what it's been this summer it is chilly"

"Uhh and you want to go to Pennsylvania in November?!?!?!"

Blood Diamonds

Tonight I went to the movies for the first time since I was pregnant with Lucas. I saw Blood Diamonds. You should go see it too.

For those of you that where jealous of our warm weather a few weeks ago will be happy to know it is now cold and windy here.
