We had our first wind storm tonight. With it came a 6 hour power outage. We did some coloring and some homework. The girls took showers and managed to set off the smoke alarms with the amount of steam they (Taylor) produced. Then we settled in for a dark night.
I know it's hard to see, but this is how we spent our evening. The girls curled up in front of the fire and watched Casper Meets Wendy on my laptop and I curled up in the chair reading a book by candlelight with a flashlight held under my chin. I now have a crick in my neck.
Man, the flash is bright on the camera. This was taken right after I took the dark photo above. The power was still out but that flash is bright.
The hairy guy with the big ears is Harold. He kinda freaks me out, be he is Bailey's nighttime protector. He sits at the foot of her bed, covered up with a blanket so he won't get cold of course, and protects her from things that go bump in the night. Oh, and we never call him Harry, he is sensitive like that.
Tay has her giraffes as well. Stuffy and Stubby. Stuffy is big and, well, full of stuffing. Stubby is small and stubby, just like her. And me. Her and I got the stubby legs in the family, it just isn't fair.
Oh well, power came back on about 30 minutes ago. All is right again in my little world.
Except for the stubby leg thing. Dammit.
