Ice Storm 2010

Yes, we have quite a storm headed our way. We had to stock up on supplies.:) The girls are so excited you would think we were going to Disney World! They are ready to camp out in front of the fire and dive into the junk food.:) I am not so excited. We had an ice storm last year and lost power for.... too long. I am not a camper, my friends. Not even when it's camping in my house. BUT, I am learning to "savor"! So, I believe I am ready for this adventure.:)

  1. It is heading our way today.....right now. It looks like my area might be more rain and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I also hope everyone keeps their power.

  19. Those goodies are called "staples" in our home!!!
    I too hope you don't lose power for long...Just enough time that it is fun~♥

    Me~

  20. We're supposed to get the snow/ice too - it snowed here for a few minutes (just long enough to get the kids excited) and then stopped. I'm afraid that was the calm before the storm. We're preparing for a long day tomorrow, but REALLY hope it clears before Sunday when we are supposed to fly out to Vegas...
    Hope ya'll enjoy all that yummy junk food - even if you aren't snowed in...

  21. Looks like you know how to make good of a potentially bad situation. Hope it wasn't too severe! Your daughers were excited about it because you're such a good mom!
    Take care.

  23. I hope you all are now through the storm and that you did not lose power! Stay warm by the fire...
