What was that noise? Gunshots?

Mommy is tired. She can't seem to sit still because of Hurricane Irene who is supposed to come tonight. How come Mommy is always trying to train me to sit -- but she doesn't understand me when I tell her to just sit. Finally I told Mommy why don't you help me with a blog post to get your mind off the Hurricane.

So, I was eating some cheerios in the kitchen when all of the sudden I heard these gunshot noises coming from the big white box that they keep the cold food in - in the kitchen . Mommy says its called a refrigerator -- I said "whatever!"

See, Mommy decided to save some of the ice cubes in a plastic bag to put in the cooler. The electric company already called our house yesterday saying to prepare for the power to go out and it will probably take them several days to get the power restored. (We live in South Jersey, but not too close to the shore.)

So, the refrigerator makes it's own ice. So, this morning Mommy emptied the ice from the ice cube compartment into plastic bags to save, so, the refrigerator has a chance to make more ice before the storm hits.

So, I was eating my cheerios in the kitchen when all of the sudden the gunshot noises happened in the refrigerator. I jumped up and started running into the living room. I was so scared. (I guess I'm still a little on edge since the refrigerator moved during the earthquake the other day.)

Mommy said it wasn't gunshot noises -- it was just the refrigerator making more ice cubes.

Everyone stay safe! We will post when we can.

P.S. Sorry for the blurry pictures, Mommy is just a little shaky because of the storm approaching.

P.P.S. Mommy said there are thousands of angels in heaven and lots of eyes to keep watch over us -- so, she is doing her best to keep that in her head thru the Hurricane.

  1. Our parents are not too calm either. Dad was outside putting the summer swings along the side of the house under OUR TREES so they would be protected from the winds.

    Dad keeps watching the maps, but because we are much further up the map, nobody says much about us. The governor gave very confusing directions that amounted to shop now and not much else about how bad the storm is expected to be here.

  2. Hope the storm weakens before it gets to you. You'll be in it before us. I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to get the dogs out to be in torrential rains/winds! They aren't going to be too happy tomorrow morning.

    Stay safe, it'll all be over soon and sunny skies are forecasted for the rest of the week!
