Hurricane Sandy 1, Trick-or-treating 0

We were exceptionally lucky in that we were only mildly inconvenienced by the storm (loss of utilities for a few days). But I'm still bummed about the loss of Halloween. At least Nate got to play in the rain. That's almost as good, right?


 

 

 

 

 

 

Clark Gardens Not-So-Spooky Walk

So it was a bit spookier than expected for our three year old. The great Jedi was a little scared. But I think ultimately, the train ride saved the day and left him feeling pretty happy.

Larry Mullen, III

 Nate's love of U2 is well documented. One of his favorite activities is performing "concerts" where he mimics the moves of his musical heroes. That was all well and good as long as he had a microphone or guitar in hand. Now he wants to be Larry. 

"Larry" is loud and  gives me a headache. And like the Terminator, he can't be stopped. Take away his drumsticks and drum? No problem. He'll improvise...
