Super Storm Sandy

 Last Sunday, Super Storm Sandy rocked the Northeast.  I hadn't yet really endured the full throttled power of a hurricane, tagged as a super storm or otherwise.  We dealt with Hurricane Irene a couple of summers ago, but that didn't really have much of an effect on us inland PA folk.  This storm, however, really packed a wallop.  I got a few pictures of my section (as it's called in Levittown..."neighborhood" everywhere else in the country), which was one of the worst areas hit in PA.  I didn't get many pictures because by the time I got out of my house, there were already people out, many of whom,  as you can imagine, were beyond emotional as they were looking at 40-50 foot tall oak trees on top of their houses and/or cars.  It was crazy.  Then to watch on the news what the storm did to the New Jersey coast line/shore...I'm still completely amazed at the whole thing.  It was very a very scary experience.  I posted as a status on facebook "Being from Kansas, I think there is something to be said for the spontaneity of a tornado. Waiting for this huge storm to hit is like waiting all day for the bully to beat you up after school. Not a fan."  The bully totally won this one!

Catching Up/ Halloween costumes

I recently realized that I hadn't posted to the blog for quite a while.  Things have been absolutely crazy at the Kane house over the last month or so.  I took a transfer to our districts high school from the building where I was working before, the All Saints Episcopalian Choir has been extra busy, we've been getting the boys ready for Halloween, and endured "Superstorm Sandy" and her aftermath.  So, for those who follow the blog, I apologize for not keeping it up as I should over the last few weeks.

Here are pictures of both boys in costume.  We had just received both costumes in the mail that week so we were having the boys try them right before heading off to Colleen's cousin's house for a Halloween party.  Of course, Christopher was extremely excited to be a Giants "fan"...we've both tried to explain to him that he's a player and not a fan, but he's headstrong that way...and Matthew was just happy to have a yellow sandbag to throw around.  Some of the pictures are blurry as the LCD screen on our camera broke (Matthew got hold of the camera...totally my fault for leaving it out) and we have yet to get it replaced.  Regardless of he photo quality, I think the pictures to a good job of depicting the excitement the boys had with their costumes.
