When you have this staring down at you…
And you have all three boys out of school. And there is no football tonight (Mom doing the happy dance)…. You have the family’s favorite meal and do “MOVIE NIGHT” with blankets, pillows, and movie food spread out over the living room. And if for some reason electricity goes out, you play flashlight games of hide and seek.
NOW THAT WORKS FOR ME.
Now go head on over the Shannon’s for more wonderful tips.

You have such a positive outlook about this! I’ll remember to try to have this outlook come time for ice and snow around here!

Hope it will pass you by :).
Movie nights are always fun - storm or no storm.
Pray you and yours will be safe during the storm.

This sounds like fun whether you have that bearing down on you or not! Praying you’ll all be safe and sound and “that” will stay out at sea!

Awww - those are family memories your family will hold on to (the movie nights, flashlight tag instead, etc.). Stay safe!

That would work for me too, but it would work without the hurricane too. Be safe!+

Heather stole the words right out of my mouth. My first thought was, “She’s so positive about it all.” I admire you. I really do.
(and yeah, I’m an expert at that no football mommy dance)

Movie nights are awesome! I had heard on the news this morning that hurricane Earnesto had passed by without too much force. Is that true? I hope so for your sake!
