Well, we survived our first (and probably only) hurricane here. I actually think Hermine was a tropical storm when she blew through at 3am a few Friday's ago.

I only wrote a week out for the older three kids, so we have room to adjust if need be. I'm going to admit that my kids are whiners about...
