The weekend before was spent preparing for the storm. We stockpiled batteries, candles, water, etc. The generator was moved into position and filled with gas. We cleaned the yard of possible flying objects like toys, lawn furniture, etc.
Monday morning was very rainy and windy. It got worse as the day progressed.
We spent the day playing games, doing crafts and trying to ignore the storm. All the schools and colleges in the area had announced closures for both Monday and Tuesday. Local authorities urged people to stay home. Businesses were closed.
Henry and Frances decorated plain white pillowcases.
Our only pumpkin got a makeover with googly eyes, a lime-peel smile and an acorn nose.
We played Perfection, Lego Games and Millbournes along with Wii Just Dance.
Tuesday we made homemade soft pretzels.
