C'mon Irene!

I am officially tired of the weather!

This is the the third . . .

THIRD(!)

weekend in a row that bad weather has spoiled some seriously fun weekend plans!

Me and the girls had plans to go out of town this weekend with Nai Nai and meet-up with other family members-- most notably, the girls' cousins, Nate and Emily.

Then-- Along comes Hurricane Irene.

Isn't there a song, "C'mon Irene?"

I seem to recall dancing in a circle with several other people on a table to this song.

That was back in my fun Grad school days.

Hmm, I think I'll stop there since this is a public blog.

Josie was sooo disappointed-- when I told her the trip was being postponed.

I can't stand it!

Really-- tears and the whole works.

It was a HUGE boo-hoo!

Then Clara Rose started crying-- because of course . . .

Josie was crying.

I almost started crying too!

So, we did lunch at Taco Bell followed by a little bit of retail therapy later in the afternoon.

Tonight we have the big finish.

Chicken Fries and french fries coupled with lemonade for din-din.

The girls made a picnic of it in our living-room.

Next up-- assembling my backpacking tent in the living room.

Josie helped gather pillows to make a nice soft spot in the tent.

Next we filled the tent with their favorite cozies and lovies.

I've been saving this DVD for a special occasion and this seemed to be a fitting moment.

Oh Yeah!

Don't forget the GOODIES!!!

Snuggled in the their cozy tent with yummy treats and a good cartoon movie!

Mommy's turn!

I'm soooo pooped!

More to come over the next few days.

I've ascribed to a no-disclosure policy.  Everything is weather dependent and I have back-up plans.

Every day is going to be another big surprise.

I may not survive this weekend, but my little girls are going to have a GREAT time!
