Last night, our power went out. It is the 2nd time in about 4 weeks! The first time was because a car hit a transformer. We are not sure what happened last night, but I am guessing it wasn't fixed correctly the first time! It went out last night just as the kids and I were sitting down to eat dinner. It is Joe's late week, so he was still working. I carefully walked around trying to find the lighter to light some candles. The kids were getting scared. We couldn't see anything! After the candles were lit, I went to the basement to get the lantern for better lighting. We finished dinner and the kids decided to do a puzzle. I got a few pictures I will post below. Poor Joe, got home from work and nothing was warm :( The kids and I went with him to Burger King to get something to eat and then the kids played for a bit. The power was still out and we didn't want to go home. I was gone most of the day yesterday, so I didn't turn the heat up very far. It got cold in the house fast! It was out for a total of four hours and the temperature in the house was 54 when it came back on. Lexi didn't get to do her homework, so I guess we will have extra to do tonight!
I was using night mode on the camera to get some different effects.
I thought this one looked pretty cool.
I turned on the flash. Look at that smirk!
Fun, fun!
I just remembered something. When the power was out a few weeks ago, it was only out for about 30 minutes. Lexi was so excited it was turned on so fast. She wrote the utility company a nice letter, thanking them for turning it on so quickly. She also drew some pictures. Well, she was not happy last night! I wonder if she will write them and tell him how unhappy she was this time!
