Hurricane Sandy

 Getting cozy before the power went off...

 ...and enjoying the the power while we had it.  Go G.I. Joe!

 Apparently Jon thinks our house was going to turn into a boat.  Everything about this picture is horrible!

 POWER OUT!!  Brody and Dad starting a fire to keep us warm (day 1)

 Our shelter in place

Hooked up to the generator and destroying the family room

 

We were so fortunate to not have any damage to our house or property from Sandy.  We did however, lose power Monday into early Wednesday morning.  THANK GOODNESS we have a generator and a fireplace because it was VERY chilly out and the lack of heat, sleep, and entertainment for the kids was wearing very thing on my nerves!  As you can see we had to set up camp downstairs because 1. I thought that a tree was going to fall into the house, and 2. it was much warmer near the fire.  By Wednesday, the house looked and smelled like a shelter.  We are much happier now that we are clean and warm!  Now if only their school would get power so I can go back to work...
