After a lot of media hoopla we ended up being largely unaffected by Irene in our neck of the woods. I know that several of my FB friends had problems with losing power and downed trees, so I hate to be glib. However, this post could alternatively be called, "What Hurricane?" or "Why Did We Have to Stay Inside All Day?". In anticipation of the storm, the prospect of being locked in with the kids for 1+ days was a little dreadful. All in all we had a fun day, though! Amidst our busy and fun summer, I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing to have a take-it-easy, stay in your jammies kind of Sunday...
In the morning my storm-watching husband took the kids on the back deck to check out the weather. Silas hid behind Derek's legs while Zoe relished in feeling the wind and rain on her face.
We had fun with a hurricane-inspired art project that involved colored paper, sidewalk chalk and crayons.
We made lots of music,
Today we were back to beautiful late summer weather. I hope all of my friends who are still without power get back to normal soon!!!

This also involved putting a plastic drum on our heads and running around like crazy people. It was 6pm by this point so I think we all had cabin fever :)
As usual there was a lot of time spent running laps around the house. Thank goodness for an open floor plan (and a husband who sleeps like a rock)!!!
