Hurricane Matthew hit us much harder than was forecasted. We were all safe but we did have flooding (though no long term damage) and lost power. Everything shut down for a few days. I took some pictures of the kids during the power outage as we lit everything with candles for bedtime. Also I was able to get my music to play Taylor Swift with the battery so they were having a kitchen dance party.
Brooke and I took 30 minutes during Alex’s nap to paint some quick pictures before he work up.

One the first day of school Brooke’s teacher gave me a shirt saying it was her school shirt that she had to wear on field trips and she could wear it whenever she wanted as well. The shirt was a child’s medium and honestly probably would be big on my neighbor’s 11 year old. Brooke is INCREDIBLY picky with her clothes and only has a few shirts/short/dresses that she wears ad nauseam. She is very particular about new articles in her wardrobe as well. So I knew getting her to wear this tent of a shirt was going to be a crying meltdown struggle every time she ‘had to’ wear it to school. I took my moderate sewing skills and went about adjusting the shirt so it would fit her properly. She happily wore the shirt around the house after I was done. I think I did not to shabby of a job for my first time resizing a shirt.
With the weather being so mild it is hammock time again. Brooke and I enjoyed a swing while Alex napped and when he awoke we all relaxed in the hammock together.
