A storm is brewing outside. It's getting darker and cloudy and the sun is hiding now. When a storm comes in, I love being at home because there are plenty of things to do during a storm.
We have some large windows, and during stormy weather we will open the drapes wide and watch the storm come and go. It's amazing how fast it will go from sprinkles, to full on storm, back to sprinkles! Lightning is exciting too, just don't get too close to the windows :)
If it looks like it's going to be a long storm, get together with your loved ones and play a game. There is something about storms outside that make bonding time that much more fun.
It's sometimes hard to watch TV during storms because of the noise of the thunder, or because you may lose power. But reading a book can be done in any weather!
Around here, we get a lot of power outages. So if a big storm is coming we prepare ourselves. Pull out the flashlights and turn off things we aren't using in case the power goes out.
If nothing else, storms are always a good time for napping. Why do you think they record rain storms for those sound boxes? Because it's relaxing enough to put you to sleep!
I love storms! I'd rather not drive in them though, so usually if a storm is brewing outside, I'll be staying inside doing one of these things.
Had a couple days of rain earlier this week. We like to nap and read, too. H5
I like a good storm also. Our last home the kids and I use to go in the basement a lot. Storms were pretty intense. We'd do all what you would do! Except the nap part. The kids wanted to watch or hide.
Love reading and napping during a storm. H5
The funny thing is, it never stormed at all! It looked it, and we heard thunder to the north or south of us, but we were in the clear the whole night. Completely missed us!
We have had some nasty storms here this week with a tornado south of us. Hope it didn't get that bad there!
