checking in.

i know there are some out there that may be worried about us east coast folk! we're doing just fine. it's 8pm, and i hear conflicting reports saying that either a-the worst is on us right now and will be diminishing or b-the worst is just about to hit us from 8pm-2am. judging by the torrential rains and insane wind gusts, i'm thinking maybe the second scenario is more likely, but i'm no forecaster.

we all hung around at home today. the girls were as crazy as ever, but we found (once again) that if we start giving them a little less attention when they're NEEDYNEEDYNEEDY! then they start playing games with each other and have a blast. we seem to need to re-learn this lesson every few months.

zane and i both have school cancelled again tomorrow. haven't heard about the girls' school yet, but i won't be surprised if they stay home too.

so. that's where we stand. haven't lost power. the pump hasn't kicked on yet. there are only a couple smallish branches down in our driveway. the girls are asleep and we're going to be right behind them.
