Yesterday when I got out of work at 5, there was a text message from Dan stating we lost power. I frantically called him for the next half hour to see if he wanted me to pick up dinner and to figure out a plan for the night. He wanted to stay home, in the dark and cold and wait it out. I suggested buying a cheap generator for the sole purpose of heating the house. I picked up dinner for Jake then came home so to watch the boys so Dan could leave.
It got dark very quickly. We had to use flashlights to see and there wasn't much else to do.
It took Dan quite a while to get home due to slow drivers and a huge snow storm. He finally got the generator running and the furnace working around 9 pm. I put both kids to sleep and colored by lantern light.
The power did not come back on until 12:30 am so we were able to stay warm enough. I had to work at 5:30 this morning, but received another text at 8 am saying the power was back out. I am now home and the power is on. I better stay on or I am going to freak out.
I hate losing power, too! We are so spoiled with electricity! ;) I'm glad you guys were able to stay warm and I really enjoy the page you colored!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little kid, power outages were always some of the funnest nights of the year! Grab some flashlights, turn on the battery powered radio and have a slumber party at your own house. Looks like your kids are having just as much fun as I did when the lights go out!
