Finally!!! We like most of the other people in NorthEast Arkansas have been without power since Tuesday morning. Finally around 1:30 today (Friday) we got power back. I was surprised and so was Seth.
When we got out of bed Tuesday Seth went to the living room and like usual attempted to turn on the T-TEEV aka TV. When it wouldn't come on he said 'T-Teev broken Momma, need put batteries in it?" I tried to explain to him that the power was out and of course he didn't understand. That first night we put him in his bed with a flash-light and he was fine at first. He was not in there 15 minutes when what I thought was a limb fell around his bedroom. He flipped out and was screaming. We brought him to bed with us at that point. When we woke up the next morning we found out that the limb was a huge Cedar tree. No wonder he was flippin out! LOL. On Tuesday evening all of the family joined together at Judy's house for Chilli. Seth and Clayton played so hard and would listen intently when the limbs would break and fall. That night while Nate and Seth were asleep ice was falling off the roof and Seth woke up and said "Clayton, ice fallin," then he laid back down and was asleep in seconds. He loves Clayton and Hannah. That makes me think that he really needs a companion!
I have to say that although it is hard to be without the things that we are used to (lights, hot water, TV) it was nice to all join together and spend quality time with no interuptions other than each other. No TV blaring in the background, just our family huddled together around candles and lanterns having a blast. Maybe we will do it again soon, not because the power is out but just because!
