Hurricane Irene

Hey there! How was your weekend?! We spent the weekend preparing for Hurricane Irene.



Living in New England, we rarely experience hurricanes. We do, however, experience some very harsh winters so we weren't too up in arms about it. I made sure all the laundry was done on Saturday, filled some large totes with water in each of the bathrooms, had several candles & lighters out in the rooms, etc. in case of power outages. We lost power once in the afternoon for an hour or so, then it came back on for approximately an hour. Then, it went out again. And, as of this posting, we are still without power. I took the girls to daycare this morning so I could go to work (power in both places-YAY!). There were lots of trees & branches down everywhere. Today is a beautiful day, though. I hope the power is back on when I get home!
