Well, we survived Ike! =) We had to live without power for 4 days, but thankfully we had unseasonably cool weather. Our little family had fun making the most of our time together.
We did not have a generator, but we had two power inverters. We were able to have a couple of lamps and fans at night. Paul was so proud of his little power station.
We did not loose any of our trees, but we had a yard full of branches and leaves! We spent all day Monday raking our yard and our neighbors. It was a family affair; I raked, and my boys loaded the wheel barrow, and Paul put them in a pile. He also used his 'new toy' to cut up big limbs and make a cozy fire.
Paul was dirty and my hands had blisters and we were both exhausted when we were done, but we still had fun. =)
Megan had no clue anything was going on, and she was a calm and happy baby throughout the entire storm and cleanup.
