Due to the impending hurricane, there was no school today and Troy didn't need to go into work. The girls watched a movie while I gave them a manicure and pedicure (Halloween colors, of course). The girls read books together upstairs, and then all got quiet. Evelyn came downstairs, but there was no sign of Julia. I went up to her room, and found Julia fast asleep in her bed. The girl hasn't taken a nap for a year and a half!
I woke up Julia at 4:00, and then all four of us played a round of Sorry. While playing the board game, the doorbell rang...it was the mailman with a package for Julia and Evelyn! Grandma Linda sent a Halloween box with stickers, candy and glow-in-the-dark toys. It was definitely a pleasant surprise on a rainy day.
Shortly after playing games, we made and ate supper while we still had power. The wind really started to pick up around 6:30 pm, so we rushed the girls through their shower/bath while the lights were still on. The lights did flicker once, when we saw a greenish glow in the sky (aka a transformer blowing up...). Here's the wind forecast for tonight - doesn't look nearly as good as the weather in Omaha at the bottom of the screen.
