Hurricane Irene

Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hit Boston, so unfortunately it has just been a windy, rainy, gloomy day. The news showed clips of the surf, which was pretty impressive, but since we no longer live on the coast, our day has been rather boring.

The wind forecast for Needham from Saturday:

Here is a video to give you an idea of the wind and rain:

Since we were stuck inside all day, we decided to bake the best chocolate chip cookies ever! Thanks to Mel for sharing the recipe with us.

In my early birthday present - I love my apron!

Amit was in heaven.

Mmm.. Warm cookies!

You have to be creative when bored and stuck indoors. Amit decided to mimic Emma when I came out of the kitchen - hilarious!

That's about all the excitement that's been happening in our town today. Can't wait for the sun to come back!
