Life has been quite hectic the past few weeks. Hurricane Sandy hit us on 10/29- we lived through another hurricane (2nd one in two years) and are lucky enough to report we had zero damage to our house or property and only had a minor inconvenience of no power for 4 days. We weren't really sure how things were going to go being home with a 2+ year old w/o power for multiple days- but surprisingly it was a lot of fun. Tyler was such a trooper and had a blast helping daddy build fires and listening and dancing to the radio - our only source of entertainment. Plus it helped that we had visitors over all the time so Tyler had lots of playmates to cause trouble with and we had an escape to Aunt Cwiss and Uncle Waawwwyyy's house on two of the days! The morning after we got power back I think Tyler was actually a little upset to have power since the morning did not start off with being daddy's assistant and carrying in fire wood to start a fire.
Due to the unfortunate events of Hurricane Sandy - there really was not much of a Halloween this year. Halloween was officially cancelled state wide on 10/31 and moved to the following Monday. But with all the problems that still existed in the area and daylight savings causing it to be dark outside very early - we decided to skip the trick or treating this year and just hangout and home and tend to any treak or treaters that did venture out (which was not many about 10 compared to 30-40 in previous years). Daycare did have a little party for all their little girls and boys so Tyler did get to show off his costume for an entire day. This year we decided on Thomas the Train - he look adorable in his little hat!
So another crazy October for us - last year around this time was a huge NorEaster - this year a Hurricane....I'm hoping this is not the new normal!
