Trick or treat~A few days late

We finally had our trick or treat night. Sandy had knocked out power in our town on Monday night and left most of our area dark until yesterday.(We have some neighbors still without power.)The town decided to post pone it until Saturday. I'm still trying to figure out why they didn't move the time to earlier in the day. A new concept Trick or treat when it's still light outside or when its still warm. HA! I had one disappointed little boy on Wednesday. Me too! I worked hard on his cowboy costume and couldn't wait for him to wear it. Yea I realize the picture shows him wearing a star wars costume. A lot of our stores have been closed due to power outages and we didn't get our Halloween candy before the storm. Today we ventured out to Target and of course the Halloween stuff was marked down. I thought it would make great dress up clothes. Bubby had other ideas. Trick or treat instead. I didn't have the heart to tell him no. He loves Star Wars just as much as his Mama. :) we are now in from the cold and about to enjoy our candy.

Happy Saturday!!

Sandy

We are back............After several days of no cable,Internet,phone we are finally back up and running. Some of our neighbors are not as lucky. Part of our neighborhood is still without power. UGH! The date keeps changing when they will get electric turned back on.  Did I mention it is getting colder here. It's amazing the things you miss when you don't have cable. I am so glad I missed all the news footage of the Jersey shore. It would have made me cry to see where I spent my childhood was no longer there. I also have 200 emails to read. Double ugh!Yesterday was the first day some of my kids went back to school. Today is Bubby's first day back. He finally gets to wear his Halloween costume to school and have his parade and party. We still have restaurants and grocery stores without power. Please pray that things can get back to normal for everyone and that they can rebuild. I still have family and friends who live there.

I am off to school and running errands. I hope to post updates soon!
Hope everyone is safe and has power turned back on.

Sandy the Frankenstorm

We have secured everything we can.
We bought food to snack on.
We bought bottle water.
We bought some more games to play.
Puzzles to put together.
We bought more batteries for flashlights.
The one thing we couldn't buy was a generator because no one had one to buy.
Now we sit and wait.
Wait to see if we lose electric.
Wait to see if we flood out.
Wait to see how pleasant Sandy is going to be to us.
Wait to see if another storm front is going to collide with Sandy and turn it into the Perfect storm.
Wait to see how much damage we will have due to wind and rain.
Schools have closed for the rest of today and tomorrow.
Stay safe my friends.
The East coast is about to get ugly.

I hate waiting.......
