And So It Happens Again

We made it last night to see "Wicked." It was a good show, not my favorite, but we really enjoyed it. There was nobody on the roads when we were coming back home, kinda eerie. When we got home we put Ellie to bed and we were both not tired so we watched TV and messed around on the Internet. Shortly after we went to bed I was awaken by a feeling of something that was normal. When I looked around I realized that the power had went out. Bob instantly jumped up and decided to prepare for the impending cold. So Ellie and I snuggled and tried to fall back asleep. She slept, me not so much.

We are able to stay in the house because we have a fire place that nearly heats the entire house, plus a generator for other essentials. Bob took the day off, but he has been out on fire runs almost the entire day.

Bob taking care of us...as always

It is really snowing again, isn't 7 inches of snow and ice enough

Chloe thinks twice...she does not want to slide off the deck

We made a pallet in the living room in front of the fire so we could stay warm. Ellie liked the idea of playing with her toys in the living room and not in her bedroom. I also opened up a new toy. She got so many toys for her birthday and Christmas that I saved a few of them back to open sporadically through out the year, she really likes this idea.

This has really been such a boring day. Everyone else is talking about how caught up they are getting. I am getting further behind, no internet means no class preparations. But I did get to spend time with Ellie. I did not get to play with her much because she MUST have it her way and she gets mean. She is annal that way (I wonder where that comes from ;). But I love reading time, and so does she.

Here's to a long, dark night. I hope everyone is staying warm.
