Powerless Again

Tuesday brought extreme wind gusts and snow flurries. It also brought a downed power line which meant we had no power come Tuesday afternoon through the evening!

After I picked up the kids from daycare, we arrived home to find no power. So I quickly started packing some bags so we could go to grandma & papa's house. E&R loved running around in the dark house holding a flashlight and hiding from mommy. It was a crazy evening as we packed up the car with Daddy's help then headed to pick up McDonalds to eat over at grandma's. Just as we finished eating & baths, our power back home came back on so it was back home we went!

Nothing like a totally unproductive evening to put a spark back in a normal weeknight routine! :) For our first power outage as a family, it went pretty smoothly and quickly - thank goodness!!!!!!!

This was our fourth power outage in two years - we're starting to think a generator might be a benfecial purchase.
