Hurricane Sandy is coming!

We had Trunk or Treat last night and it was amazingly fun. We won one of the prizes for best theme!!! I will post pics soon. We stopped at Acme after Trunk or Treat for some "Hurricane Food," which consists of Doritos, Fritos, pudding, Jello, pumpkin pie, apples, tangerines, bread and other misc. things. It was a pretty funny trip and we got a few looks because we all were in costume!

Hurricane Prep began on Friday and continues now. I've been trying to get all the laundry done and finding everything that needed to be charged. I am charging all the iPods, Portable DVDs, iPads and the Ninendo DSIs. We have enough water, canned goods and snacks. I've gathered all the batteries, matches and candles. The latern has batteries and Andrew is gathering the flashlights. He took out all the trash and recycling and picked up more fish food. Cars are moved out of the way of trees. Andrew does not think its going to be that bad, but hey, what is the harm of being prepared? We did not buy anything at the store that we wouldn't use later.

I just made some chili and threw it in the slow cooker to stay warm for dinner. Andrew got us some delicious wings from Wings to Go this afternoon for lunch. Yum! I keep glancing out the windows and see neighbors trickling in with water and supplies. (Slackers! LOL!)

I feel like I'm racing for the electricity to go out because here it has gone out just with wind, very early into the storm. I think we are ready now! Everyone please stay safe. It is raining now and the wind is picking up.
