Hurricane Prep

It's a bit surreal right now knowing that this big storm is coming but having no idea what to expect. We did attempt to be responsible by buying water and a few non-perishables and I also charged the drill batteries for our one flashlight. And now we wait.

Tomorrow and Tuesday should be interesting. In one way, I'm quite happy that we're in NYC because everything is close. If we absolutely need something, we'll figure out how to get it. In another way, it's a bit scary because if anything major happens, we're stuck on this little island with 8 million other people.

Fortunately, there are several families in our building with families of similar age. We'll end up having rotating playdates to keep all of the little ones busy (and keep the parent sane)!

Fingers crossed that we don't lose power as we'll also lose water (and that does freak me out). More to come..

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
