Yesterday we had a real rip-roaring thunderstorm: hail, couldn't see across the street rain, loud booming, etc. I called Amanda and Luke upstairs to look at the hail. Amanda was thrilled! She loved watching the rain pour out of our gutters (hmm, maybe we need to get them cleaned again...or maybe it was just a huge storm). I wouldn't let her go outside and collect the hail, which was disappointing to her.
I'm always a little nervous about Luke and weather. He sometimes seems anxious---he tries to get me to look at the radar, he tells me about the latest Nova special featuring super-twisters, and he tries to hold my hand. So when I saw him looking out the back window (we could hardly see the trees in our backyard!) whimpering a little, I was worried. "Luke, are you all right?" I asked. He turned to me with a big grin on his face, laughing, "I love severe thunderstorms!" You never know what you are going to get with Luke.
I took Eleanor to fencing and we saw a beautiful double rainbow. I let the people at the community center know that there was a rainbow outside, and they told a dad with his 4-year-old, who was coming out of dance class. She heard what was going on and looked up at her dad. "Daddy, is it rainbowing outside?" Yep, that's it exactly.
