The calm before the storm

We're just hanging out here, waiting for a hurricane to come. We think we're ready.

The deck is cleared off and pretty much everything outside has been brought in:

The swings and the tarp have been removed from the swing set. Note the ridiculously green and very very long grass in our back yard. Never in my life have I seen grass so green at the end of August:

This stuff is drying off in the sun room and will be moved inside before the wind hits. Don't quite trust the sun room for wind or rain protection...

The garage is filled with stuff that usually isn't in there. We expect the grill to be our life-line for the next few days for cooking things. We always lose power here:

Buddy is chillin outside while he still can. I'm not sure how Short Legs is going to pee in 50 MPH winds. He might blow away.

And the boys are doing this. Hopefully the small one will nap this afternoon. He went to bed late last night after polo, and still got up at 6:30 this morning. We had a grumpy whiny child on our hands this morning. Also, a lame one. Somehow he got hurt yesterday. Who knows how. So he's been limping around for a day.

So, I think we're ready. Maybe we'll ALL go take a nap now.
