Yep, the power outage was about all that happened last week (it was enough). After a five-minute storm, we were without electricity for 45 hours, and we are now in the market for a generator. It was unfortunate that we had to throw out all the food, but the fridge hasn't been this clean in years! After the initial shock of not having TV I don't think the boys really noticed. They just spent more time working on craft projects, legos, and puzzles. The really tough part was getting to sleep those two nights without AC...we had the boys camp out in the basement the second night because it was actually pretty cool down there. We went out for dinner both nights, so that was nice. The weather mid-week during the outage was nice and not terribly hot, so the boys spent time outside. On Saturday we had a block party, so everyone was commiserating about those couple of days, and also previous outages. The boys had fun running around and going in the bouncy house with their friends.
And Charlotte is pretty close to crawling. She's scooting on her back and rolling around everywhere...we are going to have to put up the gate on the basement door again. She has yet to get up on her knees but it's only a matter of time and the right toy being out of reach.
