What a crazy night. Daddy was up all night to make sure our house was safe from the silly water that wanted to be places it shouldn't. Throw in two tornado warnings that brought us to the basement twice in the middle of the night and I'd say there was more than enough excitement this week.
I did overhear Mommy asking for a pool someday. Somehow I don't think she meant in our front yard.
Or by the garden.
After the rain died down this morning around 8am, all was looking up. House was still standing and not enough damage to require a contractor or insurance claim. We were super lucky and blessed. Except for the nusisance of losing power and panicking Mommy who lost my milk for daycare tomorrow. To distract Mommy, we all went on a fieldtrip to see if we could get to school tomorrow. Good thing we did. All but one of the roads that lead to school were under water.
Literally. This is Mayberry's Main Street.
Unbelievably sad!
We invited ourselves to Emily's condo for dinner right about the time that power came back on. Emily and Samantha were in rare form from being cooped up all weekend. Samantha had the good manners to go pee pee in the potty instead of the living room. Thank goodness for Christmas miracles, right?
They were so wild during dinner that Robert got cranky so Mommy took them running in the halls of the condo. The loud noises the rest of us heard while they were out? Totally them!
Thankfully all of our family and friends are safe and just a bit wetter than usual. It's a bit stinky, but everyone being safe is the best thing ever.
