Coffee is on!
The storm ended up lasting until around 1 AM....so coffee is extra strong ha ha!
Did a quick walk around the property, so far so good. I don't see much damage besides plants being flattened and some trees down on the border of the woods.
The rabbits are all fine...happy, hungry and acting like nothing ever happened
Hope everyone has a great day!

We tied the crib to the queen... more space for kids.

When the bedroom was too small for the crib to be against the side of the bed...we built a platform/ crib kind of thing that went between the bed and the wall.

But.... once I had enough kids... usually I could get 2 kids to sleep together just fine. So 2 kids would be in a single bed in the kid room.

We would try to have no more than 2 in our bed.... when the next came along the then 3 or 4 year old would sleep with the 6 year old...the 8 year old would sleep alone. Baby and 2 year old in parent bed.

But then.... I HATE nighttime parenting...and am a bit of a scary bear if my sleep time is interrupted.

I had lots of training sessions with the little 2 year olds, teaching them to read the big digital clock... no waking up parents until the clock says it is ok.

That storm you had, Amber, was here about 2 hr ago in full force. Huge amounts of lightening, heavy winds. Ok here. Glad it cleared out, was concerned about milking but, worked out ok. Still poss more rain tonight and again tomorrow late day. had 4.5" in last 3 days. Appears rest of storm stuff gone.

It's hot out and humid....not cool like after some rains.

Stressful day at work -- large, confusing reset with poor instructions, a LOT of product and shelf movement. First time we've had such incomplete paperwork in a long time. Worse? Yep, another store with same tomorrow and another Friday. Will be glad to have this week over At least, after today, we will know what the issues are in the beginning. That helps! This takes 2 people 8 hrs each. Won't be forever.

Time to go milk.....close coops.....shower, relax, bed.

shower, relax, bed

Sounds like you earned it!

If you made home made jelly, your kids would like it on PB&J sandwiches. There is a pectin that uses a lot less sugar. I used it this year and got a tart wild plum jelly.

Some fruit has pectin in it. DD1 made triple berry jam today - blackberry, raspberry, gooseberry (the one with the pectin). And currants have pectin as well.

In the middle of a huge storm...
50+mph winds, hail, thunder/lightning and rain
Just went out and made sure the bunnies will be alright and not blow away

Whoa!! You are a good bunny momma going out in that ... and more than once!

my six year old is sleep walking doors are locked but still concerned aboutt when she does this. freaks me out.

DD2 used to sleepwalk. Once she came out of her room, down the stairs, through the living room and dining/kitchen area to the downstairs bathroom. Don't know where she thought she was, the upstairs bathroom was a right turn 1 foot outside her bedroom door.

all three kids end up in my bed. our bed is a queen so ita not like its very big and ending up with five people in it once charlie got home is very uncomfortable...

Sounds like it is time to set some rules. To each their own of course but I wouldn't ever put up with that.

We aren't that far from you but we didn't get but a small amount of rain and no wind. Now this afternoon was a different story and we did get that for an hour or so.
