We are living "inland" so does that mean we don't have to worry about the storm? It has been years since we have lived on the "coastline" so I can't even remember what it is like to "prepare" for a tropical storm. I am thinking we need lots of snacks, movies, and craft projects to make it through the next few days!
I'm sure Jaxon will just want to play video games while locked inside during all the anticipated rain, but what kind of parent would I be if I allowed this? I am planning on the kids helping me clean out their closets, make a few Disney scapbook pages, and possibly getting a jump start on their homework folders. I'm sure some of this will come easy and some of it will come with lots of sighs and complaints, but maybe if I offer a movie or game here and there it will make life a little easier.
I stocked up on organic popcorn, homemade hot chocolate (yes, I know it is a tropical storm, not a snow storm, but after all, we are from Colorado and being trapped inside means hot chocolate), gluten free cupcake mix to attempt making gluten free cake balls,
