Down Under in The Middle

This device is really handy:

....except when it goes off every 5 minutes with its shrill screetching "alerts." This thing could wake the dead. We had a stormy night here in the middle last night, so this mama got a nice little workout carrying 2 boys and a greyhound down the steps to the basement. Only the 15-pound dog came down on his own!
Our tornado shelter is under the steps in the basement, which could actually become quite cozy...who knew!? The boys woke up briefly, but they were more than happy to continue their schnoozles during the whole ordeal.

The dogs were a little confused about our midnight campout


The storms blew over quickly and were not as bad as had been predicted. I guess it was good practice for the future...I am sure we'll be back! When you live in the middle, a basement is a must-have!
