As we were leaving the restaurant, Wesley received a phone call from the Executive Director at the Alpharetta YMCA. She wanted to let Wesley know storms were headed our way and asked him to let the group at the Teen Center know what the proper tornado procedures were.
We quickly drove to pick up the boys and headed home to watch the weather. Wesley was in constant contact with the group at the Y but wanted to monitor the storms as well.
As we drove home, we talked about the storms, and I was a little worried. This was the first storm to pass our way since the devastation in Tuscaloosa last year. I was scared. Wesley and I discussed it openly since both boys were asleep in the back seat.
Note to self: Just because it is quiet doesn't mean little ears are asleep.
As we exited the highway, we heard from the back, "Are the 'tomatoes' heading our way?"
It was a serious question from Jackson, but Wesley and I had to chuckle.
Sadly, our reassurance that we were going to be okay, didn't help Jackson. He was freaked out and spent the evening with Wesley and me watching the News for 'Tomato' updates.
For about 15 minutes, Wesley thought it might be best to wake Philip and get in the bathroom.
True to each personality - Jackson kept asking "why?" "what's going on?" "how long" and Philip just wanted to climb on the toilet and read books!

| I am not sure why Wesley snapped this picture, but it shows us all squished in the bathroom (Flashers was there too!) waiting on the storms. Thankfully, we were only in there for a few minutes and then we all headed to bed! |
