Mess

Monday morning I woke up around 4:30 to the sirens going off. We immediately tried to turn the TV on which only stayed on for about 2 minutes and then all of the power went out. After looking outside and hearing the wind we decided to get the kids up and go downstairs. I pulled out the bed downstairs and we all laid down to get some more sleep. Needless to say Owen was the only one sleeping...and snoring very LOUDLY! Ellie is still talking about how loud Owen was snoring. After awhile Jeremy and Owen got up and I was finally able to get some sleep downstairs with Ellie. This is what we woke up to:

Tree down in neighbors yard

Tree branches came down in our front yard

Back yard is a disaster

Trees down in the backyard

We could not even get down the street to the right of us. Power was not restored in Center Point until Monday night. Owen was one hot, sweaty, crabby little guy!
Not the best site to see when you are attempting to have an open house on Sunday. Jeremy bought a chainsaw he has been wanting, and we were able to get everything picked up. Our neighbors had it a lot worse than us, so we consider ourselves to be a bit lucky. Ellie wants to sleep downstairs again tonight :)
