Frankenstorm

Despite the fact that the brunt of this storm is supposed to hit the New Jersey/New York area, Quincy public schools are canceled for tomorrow as is pretty much every school in the state per the Governor's request. Mike is working from home assuming we don't lose power, and we have dutifully dug out the flashlights, charged the iPad and portable DVD player, taken everything off the back porch, have plenty of bottled water & moved the car from its usual under-a-tree parking space. The only oversight is that the kids haven't had a bath in 3 days, thanks to Mike & I being out last night and being out again late tonight at Phil and Sue's. So hopefully I can get them in the tub tomorrow morning before the worst of the storm hits...(Apparently it is important that my children be clean before a natural disaster? Or I'm supposed to bathe them because we might have to turn the water off or something? But for some reason they need to be bathed :-))

So the first "snow day" of Charlie's school career is for a hurricane. I'll update tomorrow & I hope everyone in PA is staying safe and hunkering down too!
