HALLOWEEN CANCELLED...BUT THAT'S OKAY

Well, we didn't have Halloween this year.  Hurricane Sandy pounded up the East Coast of the United States and cancelled Halloween...but Krumbs and I aren't upset.  If you're wondering why we aren't boo-hoo-hooing over our lost Halloween candy, it is because we've been thinking about all the things we do have--our house, our food, our family.

The hurricane caused lots of damage across many states.  Losing power and internet and phones was terrible, but our house wasn't damaged and our family stayed safe and sound.  A tree fell across our driveway and the tree knocked down our light posts, so we were stuck in our house without power for a few days, but we're okay and that's what is most important

We are thinking about all the people who are not fine and who had damage to their houses or had family hurt...and we're grateful for our friends and family and everyone who helped out during this disaster.  There were police, fireman, volunteers, workers trying to restore power, rescue workers, and even just normal kids and animals who pitched in and tried to help.-they are all heroes and they inspired us to help too. 

We volunteered today at our local high school, handing out food and water to families who have no power and Krumbs and I donated our allowances to the American Red Cross.  The American Red Cross is just one organization that offers help...food, shelter, and first aid to people who need it, especially after a disaster like a hurricane.  Right now the Red Cross is offering help across the ten states hit by Hurricane Sandy and we're proud that we could help.

We hope you are safe and that you stay safe.  We've started thinking about people who help other people.  Have you ever done something to help in your community?  Tell us about it at Club Krumbs.
