~Snack Dinner~

So it's dinner time after a long rough day and Nick is gone.  My brain in shot and my young diners are likely to be unenthusiastic about anything I make for dinner.  On top of that a storm is brewing outside, and the tornado sirens are going off.  So what to do?
Popcorn for dinner.
You may be saying popcorn for dinner?  
Don't worry.  I made sure our popcorn dinner included a rainbow of colors, and the kids and I ate every bit of it.
 Add calling family while dining in the basement with flashlights in tow as the tornado sirens blare, and you have one good time.... well, once the kids calmed down.  Poor Alec really was quite concerned about the tornado.  Elyssa didn't really understand why we had to stay downstairs.  Cordy was her usual happy self.  I was just happy when Nick finally did come home safely and the sirens turned off.  
Not a bad way to kick off the Spring/tornado season. :-)
