Prepared with nothing to do
It's nearly lunch time and we are so bored. Thus we created a blog. How often do you get the gift of an extra day with no school, no activities, and your told not to drive anywhere? It's been great (if you don't pay attention to the news and the monster bearing down in a few hours)! Last night I finished putting the hardware on the kitchen cabinets. I got all the laundry and dishes and stacks of papers cleared out. Every child is fully bathed and and the house is absolutely clean. Even the backyard has nothing in it (Mike just finished disassembling the trampoline). I'm loving this life. But now, we have nothing to do but wait. The mild winds have started. If we had a kite, we'd be going to the park right now. The sky is cloudy but pleasant. The electricity and water is still functioning-almost too well. We turned the air conditioning down to 68 degrees. We figure if the house is freezing, we can maintain a cool environment longer when the electricity goes off. Sydney and I have had blankets around us all morning. Anyone in the mood for hot chocolate?

we're keeping our eye on it, too, out of concern for all of you down there! stay safe and cool, maybe you won't have a problem with the cool part! :)
yay for blogs!
Sounds like our house, except our is messy...Porch furniture in the kitchen and such.
I am so glad you mentioned a kite. I am going to get ours out!
Hi! have fun with your blog!
Kahna dear, you are scaring you father.
I know what you mean. I'm actually reading blogs! I haven't read my friends blogs or updated my own for an extremely long time. I even got out some scrap stuff. Maybe I'll work on my pictures! Wouldn't that be amazing!
Hi Kahna!!! you have a blog! yay!! glad you're ready--we are too. except Dain is required to be at the radio station all night long so I'll be here alone with the kids. when the power goes out, out come the handheld games and board games. :-)
I should have thought about lowering the temp...oh well, next time. We have battery operated fans and lanterns which helped us weather the warm/humid air. Thank goodness for the cool front. The only good thing about having to go to work today was being able to check the blogs/e-mail.
Hope your house faired well. We only lost a few shingles and the power has been out since midnight Friday.
