Last night's adventure

We have been experiencing an unusually wet/stormy spring here in North Texas. Considering it rained a total of about 3 times all last spring or summer, everyone has been in shock! Last night a huge storm struck our area about 15 minutes after Bible Class started at church. It went from still to literally 90 mile an hour winds!!! The power went out not too long after things started to kick up....My baby was in cradle roll in another building so a friend and I braved the storms to go and rescue our kids! Of course they didn't even care it was pitch black, but it made us feel better to have our babies in our arms. All the moms gathered and sat in the hallway with the babies while waiting for the worst of the storm to blow over by cell-phone light! We all laughed how funny it was we don't even need flashlights anymore because of cell phones.
We got home to discover the power was out in our house, so we just lit candles and made the best of it. We sort of thought the power would come back on quickly because we practically live in the middle of Mesquite....well it didn't and the house started to get muggy and hot. We would have left the windows cracked but there are no screens on our windows and we didn't want to let bugs and critters in all night. We didn't want Annaleigh to get too hot so we packed up to go spend the night at a friends house. Wouldn't you know that as soon as we got to the front door Annaleigh THEW UP all over me and her. We were already wearing our pj's and didn't even have a change of clothes with us so we had to borrow clothes from our friends. She was so yucky I had to bring her in and put her straight in the tub! By the time we all got to bed it was almost 1AM.
Everyone is fine now! We got power back around 10am today but unfortunately some people in the area still do not have power. There were not any tornadoes here....but there was some damage done by the wind. Thank goodness our only loss was the melted Blue Bell ice cream in our freezer!
