Halloween 2011...in November!

On Sunday, November 6th, Halloween was officially celebrated in Middletown. HUH?

The backstory is that on Saturday, October 30th, Connecticut, and much of New England, was hit with winter storm Alfred. It was a devestating storm, because the unexpected and premature combination of snow and ice blanketed the trees that were still covered in leaves. When the trees fell, they took the power lines with them. And the response from CL&P was underwhelming....it took 5 days for power to be restored on Clover Street....and even longer in other places. But the combination of lines and debris down everywhere, and the lack of power, made Trick or Treating impossible. And so once things were reasonably cleaned up, the Mayor "rescheduled" Halloween for the following weekend. We got the message....but unfortunately many people did not (which is not surprising because nobody had power!).

Elizabeth and Emily visited on Saturday night (they already had other plans on Sunday night).
The Superheroes: Nathan as Batman, and Maya as Superwoman!


Princess Lily and her dad, the Pauper.


The Bouchard's came for a visit, with Connor monkeying around!


The Patriots played the Giants that night, so we had Teagan rooting for New York, and Jack rooting for New England in their team gear!

Ro was particularly fond of the little Giant's fan!
