Unusual Monday - Hurricane Sandy is here which means that

The school was closed, Lori didn't go to work, we had do buy some milk and bread as just-in-case-food, Charlie cancelled his flight to London, Lori put all the important food in the refridgerator in the basement which nobody were allowed to open, Charlie drove the cars into the garage, the kids had to take showers yesterday, we bought gas for the generator, uplighted the house with candles, had Charlies italian co-worker to stay at our house (don't know why, but guess that it was so she wouldn't have to cancel her flight too) and yeah, I guess that was it. Puh. Everybody in Newton and around are crazy about the hurricane!

  

 

Since the kids were home the whole day we had many hours to entertain ourselves.

Mirea was upstairs in the attic sewing on her halloween-costume. So fascinating that she's so good at sewing!

While she sewed I looked at all their children's books. I found BABAR - smile! Also Alfie Atkins (Alfons Åberg)and Petson & Findus.
