So we’ve been without power (and heat) for the last 24 hours. Wasn’t a big deal when it went out, it was bedtime so I just threw on a sweatshirt and snuggled into bed. This morning it was CHILLY so we were up reading our books with Carlos and Trey assisting with their headlamp flashlights. School was 2 hours delayed, which meant no preschool for Levi. I also had Alice, Kristian and Jefferson so all the kids bundled up and played with no complaints. We ate lunch and I promised to go buy them some fries to warm them up, took Carlos to preschool and naps went as normal. We played outside awhile, it was quite warm outside so all was good, then met up with Mary for family dinner at the Chinese restaurant. We checked back in at home, disappointed to drive by and see it still pitch black. Headed to Nana and Papa’s warm house to get the boys through the bath and possibly spend the night. Called our place around 9pm and hooray, our answering machine clicked on, we had power! Amazing how long 24 hours can seem without heat (the light, tv, etc weren’t all that big a deal….but it was cold!)
