wild and windy typhoonigator!

Wow, a nice windy rainy storm today. We have learned about different forms of weather, and classified clouds, and different wind speeds, so the boys are excited to see some real storminess. We even made an anemometer, but I think it would fly away in this storm! As usual, Zander wants to got out and run around in it, and Adon wants to snuggle in the couch and read a book. Of course, we have to be careful about falling branches and so on, but we can go explore a little bit.

We will probably go to Bouncetown today too -- we bought a few play sessions in advance; today would be a perfect day to go use them up. My old daycare teacher used to sit all the kids down on a rainy day and try to tell us about how we felt friskier because of all the negative ions in the air, but we just wanted to run around bouncing off the walls. Zap this!

Of course, I am going to have to ride my bike to school in this mess later. That'll be interesting. I just waterproofed my jacket and backpack last week, and bought a new set of yellow rain gear... I have a funny removable rain guard that attaches to my seatpost and blocks the spray from my rear bike wheel, too. I'm actually excited about riding in the rain, how weird is that?
