Dinner Conversations

It's a joke at our house that you can't leave the table after dinner unless you have told us about your day. Of course, everyone just acts goofy and says "how was your day Dad? How was your day Mom? How was you day xxxx - you get the picture.

Tonight however, was a very loud meal as Mark, Zachary, Kyle, Catherine and William (yes William) told of their experience at school over practicing for a tornado drill! Now of course, William isn't in school yet, but he too had a story to tell about his drill!

Zachary went on and on about how crazy it is to announce that you're about to have a tornado drill before the alarm goes off. Kyle and Catherine were upset because they had to sit on the cold floor and put their head between their legs. William proceeded to demonstrate how loud the tornado alarm sounded - you can only be thankful that I can't blog the loudness of his siren!

Mark said that the high school kids were actually very good during their drill and Zachary said "of course they were, they got out of class."

Dinner with the six of us is one of my favorite times of the day. Once the food is cooked, table is set, and we are all sitting together!

Now, if only the maid would show up to do the dishes as the dishwasher is broken once again! I can only hope!!
