During the night we heard a tornado warning.

A tornado did actually hit just a mile from my home.  We live about an inch from the top of this map and about a half inch from the left edge.  You can see a short white line in the area which is the cement flood control area behind our home.

Anthony stayed up all night playing video games and watching TV.  Alyssa and I fell asleep later than normal but not much later.  I came home around 9am.  My soccer game was canceled because of more rain and wet fields.

Mommy and I planned to spend the weekend at the lake but we decided to take Anthony and Alyssa with us so we changed our plans to just spend the afternoon there.  Andy, Kristan, and Anna Kate came up also.   We had pizza and we swam and rode our scooters and enjoyed the entire afternoon.
Papa was on crutches.  He will be able to put more weight on his knee starting tomorrow.

On the ride home, I fell asleep.  When I woke up, I said I just had my eyes closed, but everyone laughed because they knew I was sleeping very soundly.

I got a little too much sun.  It was so cool we didn't even think about sunscreen for me.  We will remember next time.

Barbara and Anna Kate saw a science experiment on Sesame Street TV show.  She wanted to try it with me, so we tried to use a white piece of paper, a flashlight, two strips of masking tape, and a glass of water.  By shining the flashlight through the water we should have been able to see a rainbow on the white piece of paper.  We spend 30 minutes trying three different flashlights and had almost no success.   The halogen flashlights did not work at all.  The old fashion flashlight gave us a bit of color but basically we were not successful. 

Mommy and I started working on a couple of small projects for me to give to my teacher next week for Teacher Appreciation Week.

 I climbed into tree by our mailbox and played with a rope I found.  Mommy and Barbara decided we could maybe jump rope with it.  They showed me how to swing the rope, so Barbara and I swung the rope while Mommy jumped.  I tried a few times and got discouraged.  They said I just need to keep trying and it would happen for me.
