Yesterday we lost power for about 2 1/2 hours. It happened at 6 pm just after dinner and baths. John left to go to dinner with some people from work and I was meeting some girls for a movie and dessert. We had a babysitter lined up and I wasn't sure what to do. It gets pretty dark here now around 6:30 so I got some candles out. The kids were running around the house trying not to run into things and laughing hysterically because it was getting so dark. Wyatt kept asking me to try different light switches..."Mommy, turn this light on. No, try this light Mommy, etc". Finally when the lights had not come on by 7pm, I put Jonah and Sammy to bed. Our babysitter came over and I left Wyatt with her and went to my movie! It was kind of weird to leave her in a pitch dark house, but we had a working phone and John would be home within an hour, so I decided not to cancel my plans. This morning I asked Wyatt what he did with Logan and he said "we played legos and played with flashlights!". It sounds like they had a good time, so I guess that it wasn't such a bad thing after all!
