Hurricane Irene moved in bright and early. I was nervous because Jason wasn't home. So not only was I facing a hurricane alone with my little ones, but Jase was going to be on the road driving into the storm to get home to us.
The morning dddrrrraaaagggeeeddd. Then we lost power around 10:30am which to my knowledge was just the beginning of the storm. From then the day kind of flew by. We painted pictures.
We painted a lot........these are just a couple of pictures.
We sang songs, and watched the trees dance in the wind.
Once I saw a few neighbors walking the neighborhood (I had no TV, internet or radio to know the storm was over) we were off. We were looking for a reason to wear our new rain gear out. What better than to go out on a puddle hunt??

After a long fun-filled bachelor party weekend for Jay, and a long day with no naps for my little ones everyone was asleep by 6:15pm but me......
Now that I have electricity (after 24 hours), cable and internet back (after30 hours) I learned that our town was the fourth hardest hit by the storm. I also JUST got a reverse 911 call saying there are shelters open in the town and that most of the town does not have any power. We really are lucky. Our damage was some limbs and branches in the backyard. So thank you to National Grid and Comcast for working around the clock. and Thank You God for keeping my family safe and sound.
Goodbye Irene!!!
