What did you do during "Frankenstorm Sandy??"

Well, the first thing we did was not panic, because most weather people are just stupid turds who couldnt get any other job, so they decided to forecast the weather in ugly suits. But then after we didnt panic, we wrote some songs on the keyboard.....Callum can now play the theme from Elmo's WOrld AND he can play jingle bells. He does it all with one hand though #thatswhatshesaid

Also, we dressed in silly clothes....Maira was wearing this pair of "tights" under her "dress," and she kept laughing hysterically at how high she could pull them up....she had the pulled up all the way to her chest....I tried to get a pic of that, but she had taken them down a bit by the time I got the camera....

Then, after playing with funny pants, we put on the dress and made some funny faces for the camera again....look at all those teeth!!!

Today we had no school (no idea why) and yesterday, while I was at school, Amanda and Callum baked a confetti cake while Maira napped. According to Amanda, Callum pretty much baked this whole thing himself: He mixed it, added egg, added water, CRACKED the eggs, stirred it all up, guided it into the oven, frosted it (help with that part) and sprinkled all the Halloween jimmies and decorations on it.....it was a great dessert last night!!!

I started making some applesauce last night too. We have over two bushels of dropped apples that we got at the apple farm for basically three bucks per bushel.....we hope to get a few more this week (I am sure lots of apples fell with all this wind). Apple sauce if fun to make....but it is time consuming to stir constantly. But we got a new peeler from QVC #whereelse? that works amazingly!! We hope to can a couple of dozen quarts!

And while I did this, Amanda put the finishing touches on Callum's Halloween costume: He is going to be a BAT. NOT BATMAN, as he tells everyone within earshot....but a regular bat....like the bird. Amanda is doing a great and creative job creating his costume....
