Weekend of Preparations


 Aside from the usual soccer madness, we spent the weekend preparing for Halloween and for hurricane Sandy. We found the not yet unpacked box with all the flashlights and batteries we got before Irene last year. We tried on costumes. I brought rain boots up from a box in the basement. We carved pumpkins. We planned menus and decorated for our Halloween party. And secured our bikes outside.

 We are not quite sure what to expect out of this storm, but are looking forward to it being over. And we are thinking about our friends and family along the east coast in areas that are expecting much worse weather than we are here.
