Frankenstorm



School is closed today due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Sandy, aka Frankenstorm. We are spending the unexpected day off in fine form. Thanks to cloud cover and the white noise of perpetual rainfall, the children all slept in until 8:15. Next on the agenda was a family snuggle and some morning cartoons. Then my Emma had a FANTASTIC idea for breakfast: banana wheat pancakes and hot cocoa. She and I made the "surprise" breakfast and then invited our boys to the table. It's been a lovely morning. At Emma's recommendation, we are still in pajamas for a PJ Party. The kids have been running around the house with nerf dart guns, and the general mood is that of a snow day. So far, so good. Here's hoping the rest of the East Coast fares as well as we have thus far. 

Also of note: John is putting some awesome sentences together. This morning's conversational gem over breakfast was "Watch Mee Mouse Show." He was reporting to us about his morning cartoon selection of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Two year old cuteness.
