Waiting for Sandy

Look at my crazy husband on the neighbors roof.  He cleaned out the gutters yesterday and needed to do it again today.  Things are very quiet right now.  It's windy outside but you can't hear anything in our house.  There is nobody on Route 9.

My God son Aiden is here since they had to evacuate their house.  Rachel is over at work feeding the National Guards.

 

 The kids are having fun doing crafts. Since I haven't put any decorations out I asked them to make me a banner.

I finally got it hung up it took awhile since they glued it to the table. :) 

crazy kid

Why oh why would my son be up and dressed for school at 5:30 in the morning?  He must be crazy! 

Girl Scouts bug theme

Our girl Scout troop is off to a great start already.  We have 70 girls in our troop.  Last week we brought in a couple of sewing machines and had the girls practice sewing on them.  They made a basic tube dress. That most of the girls cut the bottoms like on Tinker Bells dress.  They decorated wings. and  today we watched the Secret of the Rings and had pop corn.  The girls really enjoyed it.  I wish I had pictures of them.  I brought my camera last week but was so buzy I didn't have time to take any pictures.  Of course I just forgot to bring it this evening.  I have to learn not to go anywhere with out it. 

Kateri Center

We had a trip to the Kateri Environmental Center today.  They took the kids on a hike through the woods and taught them about plants and trees.  The first one on the stop was my favorite poison ivy. :(  I was itchy the whole hike.

Freehold Spooktacular

Yesterday we went to the Halloween Spooktacular.  They do such a wonderful job.  It's all about the hayride.  They used to go around the streets through downtown and volunteers did little skits in front of their houses.  They now moved it to a park.  It is so much better.  We saw a lot of friends there.  Michael was right up front and he got so scared he jumped in my lap and cried and cried.  I was trying to figure out what scared him the most.  I think it was the headless horseman.  The guy did a really good job but when you asked Michael he said everything was scary.  I'll post pictures when I take them off the camera.
