New Vocabulary

During the storm, we were kind of laughing about some of the media's favorite storm "terms" that they totally overused. Two of our favorites are:

• inundate
• sustained

We were lucky that our house was not inundated with water, however, our roof sustained damage when sustained winds inundated the Houston area on Sept. 13.

Taite & Paige have also learned new words that were not part of their vocabulary before this storm.

• Taite's most used word: generator :), also "debris" and "chainsaw"
• Paige's word: hurr-game

Taite also loves this phrase: "Hurricane Ike, take a hike."

Then, Paige runs around saying, "Ike, Ike, Ike"

Oh, the things that keep us amused these days. One day soon, things will be back to "normal" and we'll say we're 'bored' with the same ol', same ol'.

Just had to share....
