Well, Hurricane Sandy has left her mark around here with power outages and toppled trees. We lost power at my house just before 4:00 yesterday and it is still out as I write this post from school.

I’m not sure what I’ll do on this day before Halloween, but since there’s no school, I could carve a ghoul!

I can’t wait to hear or see how you spent your storm days!
