Cade getting ready to brave the storm and feed Lando
Side Yard (swing knocked over)
Front Yard(by the next morning it was up to the next sidewalk)
"Lake" in our backyardThis week we had our first experience with a Noreaster. It was CRAZY. School was actually canceled for 2 days. SO after having Veterans Day off on Wed and then a "Rain Day" on Thursday and Friday....I am definitely going a little stir crazy with the 3 little ones. We have been stuck inside basically 24/7 because the winds have been 50 mph plus and it is flooding everywhere. We kept watching the "lake" in the backyard and the "river" in the front yard creep closer and closer to the house. Luckily, it is starting to slow and the waters are receding. There are lots of broken branches all over the yard, but we were lucky not to have any trees fall down. All over base there are huge trees down, fences and signs that have fallen, and power out.
Cade braved the storm to help me get Lando fed and taken out to do his business. He had on cowboy boots, a ski jacket, and gloves and was outside for 15 minutes trying to get Lando to relieve himself since it had been 2 days since this had happened. I was waiting for a huge mess if we weren't successful. Luckily, Cade completed his mission and both boys came in soaked. Of course Mike is gone during all this and will never believe me when I tell him how bad it was. He is in California for a few weeks. I am kinda hoping the base isn't back to normal when he arrives so he can see that I wasn't exaggerating. :)
We did get out to go to the gym. I am on my gym craze trying to get back in shape after having Cole. About 30 pounds down and 10 more to go. Actually I would like it to be about 15-20 more to go. Wow I gain a lot while pregnant. My goal is to work on it while Mike is gone the next three months. It is easier to cook really healthy when he isn't around. Well....off to do exactly that....cook dinner!
