The boys were out of school again today- not really sure why. The school says that is was because of Hurricane Sandy that the boys were out of school for 2 days. Even though Sandy shifted and all we got was some wind and not the super crazy blow everything all over the place wind and some rain. The boys have gone to school in much worse conditions. I have driven them to the bus stop, which is at the end of our driveway, in much harder rain than what we got. Who knows. Chris and Nathan were not complaining one bit about having 2 days off from school. Kevin was not sharing their happiness because he had school- got to love homeschool. Not a whole lot that cancels homeschool- LOL:)
Due to not knowing what the hurricane was going to do and because Michael had a meeting Monday morning, we decided to do our grocery shopping on Saturday after the Lowes Build and Grow event. Boy that was fun, everyone was there buying all the milk and bread and batteries. It was crazy.
