One of the nice things about the fact that Halloween is now a month long celebration and not just one night is getting multiple uses out of the costume. That, and having multiple activities mean that if one is a bust at least the overall experience isn't completely ruined. This weekend we went to Baltimore to celebrate the holiday in Patterson Park and watch the Lantern Parade. Kolton was pretty cranky because he didn't get a really good nap in. But he made the most of it and was super cute running around in his dragon costume. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a photo of all the kids together. And just like last year we ended up calling it quits before the parade began because the little ones just could not make it that long. But I still absolutely love this little tradition and being able to hang out and socialize was well worth the trip!
We cut our visit a little short to make it back to Richmond ahead of this Sandy storm. Um, so far...nothing. Schools are already closed for tomorrow so I guess its supposed to start getting worse over night. I went to the grocery store to stock up on essentials like water and toilet paper. I think its crazy but EVERYONE does it and I just don't want to be the stupid, unprepared one. But frankly this panic is a little hilarious/ridiculous.

Mike's appointments for the beginning of the week have already cancelled as well. So, thankfully I won't have to worry about being alone through all of this. Oh, and the best part; it gave me an excuse to buy a head lamp!
