Power Outages

Who would guess? Power outages all day. There were no storms. I suspect PGE was simply working on the lines.  We thought it was done as they'd said lights would be on by 5:15 p.m.

Then they went out again - I don't know WHY we didn't think to prepare for an outage at night.  Stacia immediately wanted to know if "this is going to be like the time the power went out after the earthquake?" No.

This was fun message to find when I turned on the battery candle! 
 
The little tri-pod LED flashlight from Cynthia at the Volunteer appreciate saved the day!
 
The kids enjoyed making shadows on the wall.


We went to bed and the power was back on when we woke up. That's it - the big excitement for the day. LOL
