Riding it out...

Well, it looks as though Gustav will be here tomorrow. It could arrive anywhere between tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. Justin has made the decision for us to stay here (notice I said Justin). It's not that I'm scared of the storm, I'm just not looking forward to being out of electricity! I know Anna will go insane. I'm not too worried about Jay though. He will play lights/air or no lights/air. The air went out last week and we kept the lights off to keep the house cooler. Jay did not seem to mind one bit.
I think we are prepared, hopefully I won't be proved wrong. I went to the store and got enough formula, diapers, and wipes to last 2 weeks. I bought bottled and gallon water, canned veggies and fruit, breakfast bars, bread, sandwhich meat, batteries, tylenol, paper cups, toilet paper, and paper towels.
Now that I've filled you in on my grocery list feel free to let me know what I've forgotten. :)
As soon as this place is back to normal, I'll fill you in on the fun we have!!

Most everyone here stayed. I actually don't know anyone who evacuated from the Prairieville/Baton Rouge area.
Anna is excited. She has started making puppets so that we can have a puppet show if and when the lights go out. :)
Right now she is asleep in our closet. We cleared it out and put her matress in there. She thinks it is so cool. That's where we are prepared to go tomorrow when the winds get bad.
