So last night we had the CRAZIEST storm! I know it was worse elsewhere in the state, but man it got pretty crazy here last night. Around 10:15 or so, Jess and were watching the weather on Channel 5 ( ironic I know) and Kevin Eubank was just about to tell us more about where the storm was when the power went out. At first we were saying "Hey cool, I love it when the power goes out" But then the kids started waking up. There's no ventilation in their rooms, so we have fans on them, so they woke up because they were hot. So we figured, what the heck? So we gathered them and their blankets and stuffed animals and had a party on our bed, where it was nice and cool and we could listen to the storm. We ate "Gorilla bars" and made shadow puppets. But after about an hour of that, we were tired. We set up Andrew's crib and had Maddi lay down between us.
Cut to an hour later and Maddi had asked to go to the bathroom 4 times and Andrew was still crying and Jess and I were exhausted. Maddi kept trying to tickle me and I was about to lose it. Finally at 2:30 the power came back on! YAY! so we banished the kids to their room and passed out.
Man, I used to LOVE it when the power went out. Not so much these days...

Sounds like a long night! At our house I felt like the house was shaking. Tootsie was barking all night. I hope you get some sleep tonight!
Oh the joys of kids.
