Hunkering Down

Hurricane Ike has us home from school today (yes, I am a little pleased about that). Last night was a fun night on our block. Everyone sat outside and watched all the kids play in the street, since no one had to be up and go to school or work. Right now (8:50 am), Jake and I are watching Diego, and Josie is still sleeping. We're not in the evacuation zones, so we're not going anywhere. Apparently Magnolia was pretty crazy yesterday with people getting gas and stocking up at the grocery store. We didn't have any trouble getting the things we needed. It sounds like Ike has turned and will be east of us; they are saying it will go up I45. We're still bracing for high winds and rains, but they say the west side of the eye is the better place to be. Anyway, we just wanted to let eveyone know that we have plenty of food, water, and supplies.
