Last night we were watching the projected path of "Tropical Storm Hanna." Realizing it was headed our direction, I thought it might be wise to check on a few of our supplies. I took the opportunity to overhaul our 72 hour kit, which needed some help. As I was wandering around the house gathering diapers, changes of underwear and other odds and ends which had not yet been added, Anna got pretty curious.
"What are you doing, Mom?"
When I tried to carefully explain that a big storm was coming our way, it only solicited further questioning and even a bit of panic.
"Where are we going?"
Again, I tried to explain that we weren't planning on going anywhere, but that it's always good to be prepared just in case. And really, at times like this, you start to think about what you value, what you'd want to take with you in case you really did end up in a position of having to evacuate or something.
It was quickly quite evident which items were high priority on Anna's list as she ran yelling from my room, "Kate! We need to pack up our ponies!!"
I'm glad to report that the ponies are safe. I think the girls were actually kind of disappointed today when all we got was a little rain in the morning. As they looked out the window at the drizzle, they kept asking, "Is this the hurricane?"

They would! And the pic from lat post Anna looks like a movie star! I couldn't believe how long her hair has gotten! Holy smokes! And Luke! He's huge! I am so glad I got to see you for a few mins. I guess next time I'll be seeing ya'll is at Thanksgiving! Man oh Man!
I am so with the girls. Hanna was a total cop out. Sandra called to mock me that I had everything all geared up. Stupid storm.
Your girls are so cute, and I think it would be a toss up for our girls between ponies and princesses.
that is just too funny! And I agree with Afton...that pic below is dang cute of the girls.
Sometimes I wish I was a kid again. Those were the days!
Such a cute post, I am still laughing. I love how kids speak from their hearts. Who cares about food and water if you don't have your favoirte toy to share it with!
I wondered if you guys would be affected by Hanna. Glad it was only a sprinkling. And I wouldn't want to leave those cute ponies behind either! Anna and Kate sure know where their priorities are :) Darling girls.
Yikes. I really need to overhaul my own 72-hour kit.
We seem to be past the days of ponies and princesses, sniff. Forget the food and water--I'm sure first on Abby's list would be her Webkinz! Glad you are safe.
