candycanes and tomatoes

We've had lots of rain here lately thanks to Tropical storm Hermine. Close to 10 inches has fallen at our house over the past few days. Thankfully there was no flooding at our house, but many others in Austin weren't as lucky!

A day before the rain started, I explained to the girls that a strong storm was coming and that the winds were almost strong enough to be called a hurricane. They were both very interested and a bit anxious about its arrival. The next day Willa heard the rain start and ran around yelling, "THE CANDYCANE IS HERE! THE CANDYCANE IS HERE!!"

We were also under a tornado warning for a little while so we talked about tornadoes. No matter how many times I corrected her, Larkin kept accidentally calling the tornado a tomato. "Mommy, when will the tomato come? Whoops! I forgot again! I mean tornado!"
