over the past week...

my dad and i watched the wind pick up at the beginning of sandy

and therefore many games were played by candlelight

including clue. my all time favorite game

(i won of course, because you can't lose with colonel mustard)

i drank pumpkin dunks every morning by the fire

we went to ikea to get some goodies simply because it was open

i discovered the "agingbooth" app & had WAY too much fun

husband and i are going to be one hot 80 year old couple hehe.

 kai kept a "moderate work schedule & took frequent cat naps"

 (if you get that, we can be friends.)

a mario kart battle raged on in our living room

and we finished painting our bedroom. 

(i got a little paint happy & started painting everything in sight

including the stools we stood on)

this past week was spent making the best of the aftermath of hurricane sandy. having no power was hardly anything to complain about so much time was spent playing board games, trips to dunks for wifi, mario kart by the fire (we hooked up the generator specifically for gamecube... priorities) and pete and i finished painting our bedroom. it was a sweatpants, no makeup, eat way too much food kind of week... with those horribly affected from the hurricane constantly in our thoughts. (pete heads down again tomorrow to sort out what they are going to do with the wrecked base & help as much as he can) hope you all are warm & safe & have a great rest of the weekend!
