We survived Tropical Storm Hanna. I know you were all worried about us on the East Coast and whether or not we'd survive, but really. . . we're fine. Seriously, the way they were talking about the storm on the Weather Channel and on the news here in CT, it was causing me a great deal of anxiety. I even went out and bought water and batteries and wondered if I should top off my tank, just in case we needed to evacuate. But when it was all said and done, it really was nothing. We had a trickle of water in our basement and between running from the YMCA (after an evening swim) to the car we got drenched. But that was about it. A lady on the radio mentioned that the ocean waves were ten feet high so, storm chasers that we are, we had to go check them out. But in the Sound they were a measley three or four feet high and we were a bit disappointed. Of course, the entire night the boys were very excited and kept talking about what an adventure we were having. The storm drains were all swirling with rage, roads were closed due to flooding and our neighborhood was full of water. By the time we got home we were drenched and freezing cold. The boys requested I pull out their fuzzy, winter, footie pajamas and we spent the rest of the evening watching Ice Age and eating Arby's. Check out all these cute fuzzy pajama bottoms. . . .
