Two days before Sandy hit we went down to Compo Beach and here we saw the sand berms being built in hopes that they would absorb some of the flooding and protect the houses just on the other side.
I went home and packed bags, just in case we had to get out in a hurry (you know if a tree fell on the house or something! ACK!)
And then we waited....we heard the winds pick up and howl all around us. We put all the blinds and shutters down so that the twins could not see everything blowing around.
The twins were great, making up games to play with each other...like this one when they created "tunnels" with their legs and let the trains go on the track...
They played on the Wii with Felix a bit....
And colored together (in a very cute manner I might add)
Felix did some arts and crafts with them...
And we left them eat dinner at their little table.
And sure enough, about two hours into the storm, the power went out. We were well prepared with all sorts of alternative light sources (very few of which involved candles).
And as the storm got worse, we all hunkered down in the living room and tried to sleep....as you can see, it wasn't hard for these two. In fact I think I was the only one for whom sleep was an issue.
Next post.....what we woke up to the morning after the storm.....
