Wow, Memorial weekend was quite exciting this year. During a nice storm Sunday, lightening struck the nearby sub-station blowing out half the transformers. We were without power from 1:00pm Sunday afternoon until 6:45pm Monday night. We are so blessed to live in such a fabulous area. Our neighbors brought us a generator to run the freezers.
Here is a list of fun things you can do during a power outage:
Play with friends
Play in the water
Read a book
Stare at the mound of dishes that just keep piling up in the sink, because hey! we live in the 21 century and who washes dishes by hand anymore. That's what dishwashers are for. :)
Eat out
Close the door to laundry room, cause it is starting to smell in there.
Visit with neighbors
Use up all your cell phone minutes, cause your cordless phones are useless
Watch your three year old try to turn the TV on for the 579th time
Breed your stud horse to your father-in-laws mare :)
Wish you were the Roberts who have a full house generator
Order your own generator
Play card by candlelight
Watch the Tillotson's come home late Sunday night and laugh when their car sits in the driveway for a good two minutes and you know they are just pushing the garage door opener a million times.
Reseed the back pasture
Listen to your children tell you over and over and over how they wish the power was on.
Miss every show you DVR'd
Watch your neighbor caulk his concrete driveway and wish you had one to caulk
Listen to the joyous screams of your children when the power does come on.
Return the borrowed generator and extension cords

I am glad that you got your power back! We were with out power for 2 days in the Winter, no fun. Love the new look of your blog!
I'm SURE Judd would have let you caulk the driveway. He was bored could you tell :) Oh well a little weed prevention is good. Now I won't have to weed the cracks in the driveway.
For sure I watched Ty turn the TV on that many times too. I am glad it is over!
