Good Night Irene!

All in one week we survived an earthquake, a hurricane and a tornado - I'm exhausted!!! Nothing much to report on Irene. We enjoyed the breeze on the porch before the storm got bad - Grace loves any excuse to get out her umbrella. Then we keep busy by playing in the basement Saturday night with Uncle James ( and some cocktails ). We were all set to go to bed when we saw there was tornado warning so Brian insisted we sleep in the basement. We woke sleeping Molly and transferred her to the pack and play in the basement while Grace grabbed her sleeping bag ( she has been itching to use it ). Just as we were about to fall asleep we heard the sump pump go on and we knew it was going to be a long night. The basement was fine and we never lost power once! Unfortunately, our friends the Klodarskas and Reynolds both had no power so they came over to hang out. The kids enjoyed a movie in the basement while the men went out and "surveyed the damage". Such nerds! We finished the day off with some go karting at Arnolds! It turned out to be pretty fun weekend after all.
