I wasn't going to stop my shower just for a simple power outage, so I finished washing my hair and went to check on the kids. They had found candles and were unearthing flash lights from all around the house. I changed my plans about aikido and decided to stay home again, since we had no idea how long this would take, and I wanted to light a fire.
Got everything together, got the fire going. Flash lights had been found, marshmallows were being roasted, life was good. Great team building experience ^^
The outage lasted about an hour, enough to have some fun, not long enough to actually be annoying. We still have the fire going, but I am letting it die now, in the hope that maybe my kids will go to sleep. Yes, I know I have unrealistic expectations :p
I am happy about having rearranged the living room to be able to have fireplace access at all times. Sometimes I do have good ideas. Just ask my kids, I am sure they will confirm the brilliance of their mom.

I have to admit that when I would see a photo on your site every now and then that showed your living room I always wondered why you kept the fireplace covered up. :)
Glad to see it's getting use AND you are making great memories for the kids!~
I love that you are using it too. We don't have one here, and that is one thing I miss about our old house.
I love that your family always makes the best of things;-) The fire looks cozy.
Singing about lumberjacks? "I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK..."? Those sorts of lumberjacks?
You know, merritt, looking back, I wonder too. It seemed like the right decision back then, now I wonder 'What the heck was I thinking???' I seem to have a lot of those moments :p
Yes, jody, the more I use it, the more I love it.
Shel, this was just too much fun NOT to make the best of.
Suldog, NATURALLY those sorts of lumberjacks, are there any others? ^^
