hurricane activities

We were very fortunate to come through Hurricane Sandy unscathed. Our power stayed on, our internet and cell phones worked, and neither of us had to go anywhere for work. On the down side, Sebastian's elementary school and Liesl's daycare were both closed all week because they lost power, and for some reason our hot water went out on Monday.  But we had a mostly fun week together painting, drawing, baking chocolate chip cookies and making pizza, eating popcorn while watching the wind blow, hiding out with a flashlight in the cardboard castle, playing dress-up (who can get the most clothes on at once), visiting the library, and going out and about to investigate local storm damage. We clambered over downed trees along the trail and had great fun with puddles.
