After that snowstorm we had, just to show us who is the master of the universe, mother nature threw another thing for us - icy storm. There was so much of it, that our tree branches were hanging down to the ground. First we had power flicking a few times, then it went off completely. We got a call from school saying that since the school does not have power, there will not be classes the next day.
It was getting darker and colder. We were not sure when we would get power back so we called Main Stay in Grantville and headed there for the night. I have to say that even with part-time job for me and full time job for Jimmy it is pretty stressful. I missed so much work with all those delays/school cancellations that it is not even funny anymore.
Tonya told me to just take care of the family first. Kids, certainly, did not mind being off school and swimming in the pool in the middle of winter. They surely had fun. Kyra, just like in summer, does not notice cold. As soon as her feet are in the water, here she goes to the top of her head.
Our sleepy heads slept together. So cute!Brandon's eyes are open, as always
The next morning we heard from school that power most likely will not be restored yet tomorrow so we started thinking down the line to see if we need another night in the hotel. We drove home, worried about pipes which, were okay, we packed more clothes stuffed, got Nana and Pop with Oreo to come to the hotel as well.
What fun for the kids! :) When we heard about 6pm that power was on (what a surprise!), kids begged us to stay here in the hotel another night. Neither of us wanted but we gave in for their sake just to realize that Brandon wanted to go home with Nan and Pop that night to spend the night at their house.
We all packed and headed home. It seemed like that by that time we have not been in the house forever. How lovely it was to sleep in our own beds! I never missed home here so much before! School and work tomorrow!
