The predictions were true. We got about 4 inches of heavy wet snow on the night of Oct 29th! It was a beautiful winter wonderland. Until all the tree branches came crashing down due to the weight on their still leaf-filled boughs. We lost power just after putting the kids down after the MOS party. Assuming it would be back on quickly, we did not panic.
Pip, Phil, and Vivie we up early the next day throwing snowballs and making snowmen.
Me and Meg bundled up in 3 solid layer and our hats. Actually the first day was not to bad, but by Monday the power was still out (and at Biogen too!) ... so by then it was nearing 52 at night and warming in the sun during the day. I don't like 52 degrees!
Regardless of her layers, Meg worked on her crawling. She's getting very good. Here's a look at her progress lately. This was a few days ago:
And here she is now:
Pip and Vivie really didn't mind the power outage all that much. Although it took them a while to be convinced that I wasn't lying ... they really could NOT watch a video! Or play Wii! They just bundled up and played other things. Here Pip entertained Meg with his laughing. It's contagious!
By Monday morning, after returning from work unsuccessful, Phil was forced to make a fire and warm us up. We were lucky that both the Goddard and Wood End had power, so the kids could go to school. I called on Susan for a shower and joined the hoards at Starbucks to log in and work via their WiFi.
Meg ... all bundled up!
