But the kids want to learn!

After only 5 days of preschool, Caleb & Aly have been barred from entering the building. Surprisingly it isn't due to behavior problems but rather Hurricane Ike. What was left of Ike hit a cold front right here in Central Ohio, Sunday night. We were out of power for a couple of hours but the kids had a great time playing outside in the mild gusts of wind. When we tried to go to school Monday morning there wasn't a car in the parking lot. Three disappointed kids, all dressed up, and no place to go. Apparently, we were in the eye of the storm and almost the entire Columbus area was hit with high winds (up to 75 mph) and were still without power and trees down everywhere. We all had high hopes of the school being open today, but no such luck. Tomorrow Caleb, Aly, and AJ might form a mutiny if it is another day without the Pledge of Allegiance.

I should add that I am not actually complaining, as we were very blessed to not feel the effects of the storm and be able to resume our life as usual barring going to school.
