Alabama Weather...

Alabama weather never ceases to amaze me! On Friday morning we took the kids outside to a beautiful morning. The weather was perfect. We spent about an hour outside and then came in and had lunch. As soon as we got them down for their naps, the bottom dropped out! It was horrible weather. In fact, I was a little nervous that I was in charge of 10 kids during weather like it was! :( We had some friends that were suppose to come down on Friday night, but do to obvious weather they were unable to come down until Saturday afternoonish.
On Saturday morning I was woken up to tornado sirens around 7:30 am. I woke Jon up and we turned on the TV. About that time they were saying, "If your in Auburn get in your place of safety!" Thats all I had to hear. I grabbed my pillows and some blankets and we made it into our hallway. I called my parents and dad LAUGHED and said "There hasn't been a tornado in Auburn in YEARS...YOUR FINE!" Well, what happened? There was a confirmed F1 Tornado that hit the Auburn/Opelika area! :( SCARY!
After all the bad weather was gone Jon and I went to buy paint for the den! I found a Martha Stewart paint that I REALLY loved, but Jon said it was to expensive! :( So, I had to find another one for less. But, it looked identical to it. We would have just been paying for the name of the Martha one! We made a deal with our friends that if they stayed with us they had to help us paint! So the boys painted the den while the girls went shopping! haha!
The den looks great! I don't have any pictures of it yet. Jon has a few touch ups that he has to do, and as soon as they are done Ill post them! :)
Saturday night we went to eat at a local pizza place called Little Italy for a friends birthday. It was actually really good and I highly recommend it for anyone in the Auburn area. :) After dinner we decided we wanted to go bowling. It would have been a good idea had we not waited until 10:00 pm to decied this! We went and they told us it would be atleast 11 before we even got our lanes. Luckily, it only took about 20 minutes to get them. We bowled for 2 hours. The temperature had DEFINITELY dropped while we were bowling. I still didn't think we would have any snow...
Boy was I wrong! I got a text from Jons step sister saying it was snowing. So, I ran and opened the front door to find the beautiful snow on the ground! It was goregous! We took a ride around campus and the boys wanted to see the AKL house so we went there. It was really pretty. This was the best kind of snow. The snow that comes for a day and is gone the next!! Jon got an email from his boss about an hour ago saying "Enjoy the snow and enjoy the day off!" I am SUPER jealous!! Only JON would get off work tomorrow!

Here are some pictures from the day!
