Hurricane Gustav

Hurricane Gustav was a little anti-climatic for us. Which is definitely a good thing. We spent a lot of the day on Sunday preparing for it. Jason brought everything that was outside into the garage (patio furniture, plants, toys, etc.). I spent the day vacuuming, doing laundry, and all the things that would need electricity just in case we lost power for a few days. It started raining Sunday night. On Monday we got up to more rain and some wind. We actually did lose power around 10a.m. Luckily we had borrowed a generator from Jason's parents so we turned it on and got power back in like three rooms. We were able to watch the news and see what was happening with the storm. We ended up getting our power back later that day so it really wasn't bad at all. Nothing like Katrina. I tried taking some pictures but they really don't show the wind and rain at all. I'll only post one. We still had some rain and wind today but tonight is pretty much back to normal. We are heading to Disney World this weekend, at least that is the plan for now. There is Tropical Storm Hanna, Ike & Josephine out in the Atlantic right now. Hanna won't really impact us but Ike & Josephine could really put a damper on our vacation. Anyhoo, here are a few pictures from yesterday.Our cat, Lainey, enjoyed watching the storm.
Zachary enjoying some cookies. What else is there to do besides eat when you have no power!
Addison likes Cheerios but only when she can get them out of the box by herself.
