Oct. 2011 Snow Storm

This is the maple tree our backyard Sunday morning after the storm.

 

Our neighbors across the street had a tree in their front yard that was leaning on the wires.

Our power went out Saturday night and we just got it back today,Thursday, at around 4:00p. m. We were still able to cook due to our gas stove and our hot water is also heated by propane. The first couple of days weren't so bad,  Here is my babe all bundled up.

The kiddos kept busy playin' some games!

We  had a no power Halloween party in our karosene lit living room, we played our own version of  trick or treat trivia pursuit. DH even got in on the action got himself some candy!

The girls kept warm in their costumes. They were Sacajawea, Amelia Erhart,and  Strawberry Shortcake.

The "boyz" came down dressed like this,  they had me laughin' acting like gangstas!

We had some fun but as one day tuned into two and two turned into three and three turned into four we began to pray for electricity and heat to warm our lil' feet.  It  was starting to get a bit frustrating. This morning we got into the car p.j. 's and all and headed over to grammy's. Later around 4 p.m. DH called me and told me the power had come back on, thank you Jesus!
