(This picture has nothing to do with last night, just thought you might enjoy it.)We had a huge snow storm last night that knocked out our power for 8 hours. When the power first went out I thought, "Great, now what are we going to do?" But I should never have worried because I don't think my kids have ever had so much fun.
As soon as the lights went out, it was like a switch flipped on in Max and he was hyper as can be. He ran around the house singing, yelling, laughing and playing with his flashlight. Megan loved chasing Max around and then settled down with her book and finished reading it. Toby was having such a great time playing with the kids that we put them down for bed way too late. And me? Well, I was trying to use the power of my mind to tell the baby to come out. Apparently my mind must not be very powerful because he didn't come. But we all had a great time and I realized that maybe we should have a "no electricity" night more often!
The best thing I learned last night? That my husband sets his alarm clock for 5:21 am. Not 5:20 or 5:25 - that would be too boring!

We got no snow. None. Weird. Our power went out a couple of weeks ago and we roasted marshmallows over our stove. Good times. I always set my alarm for 5:21 because 5's and 0's get used way too much:) Alejandro will come soon. He has no choice really. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your pregnancy ticker says 1 day to go! If you're going crazy think of me; mine says 130! Good luck!
