Riding out Hurricane Irene

Last night with the threat of bad weather, my husband and I packed the kids into the car with all their stuff, co-sleeper and all and headed to his fire house to ride out the storm in the safety of one of the city buildings they opened up for a storm shelter.

Needless to say, I am glad we did. Our neighborhood is a war zone. Trees, wires, and all kinds of stuff down and blocking the roads everywhere.  The power, phone, cable, and internet are all down at our home, and thankfully we didn’t lose any of that just a mile down the road at the fire house.

Although it has been an interesting evening.

The boys didn’t go to bed till after midnight because of all the excitement, being at the fire house, and actually being able to sleep a room over from the fire trucks.

Addie wasn’t a happy camper that she was in a different place than she is used to.

And my husband and I had to share a single bed in the firemen bunk room, he is 6’2 and I am a bed hog.  Needless to say my neck hurts, I woke up with a headache, after about 3 hours of sleep and my day can just be described as… ugh.

Although I am happy we are all safe!

I am kind of worried to see the damage I will face when we make our way home later…

Oh, and how great this picture from last night?
