Sandy update

The day after...

Monday started like most Mondays, with a few exceptions. The governor cancelled all schools so Micah had a day off. I still went to tutor and we had piano earlier that day but still we went. By three o'clock we were all home for the day. It was about that time that the wind was picking up and the rain was getting heavier. We had rain and wind. Imagine that, it was a herdacane (hurricane in Toran) and we had rain and wind. Thankfully we did not have it to bad. We spent the evening carving pumpkins and waiting for the power to go out but it never did, not even so much as a flicker. Movies, pumpkin carving and chocolate chip cookies, that is my idea of riding out a storm. After 3 hours of pumpkin carving the kids went to bed and I followed closely behind them. Tuesday morning we woke up to life as usual, school, orthodontist appointments and the like. Nothing and nobody floated away, at least not from our neighborhood. I will post pictures of the pumpkins later tonight when they are a light and glowing.
