When the lights are out....

So, we were without electricity one night this week for about 3 hours. At first it is kind of fun as we hunt down the flashlight and then the matches and candles. But it soon loses its glamour when mom won't let you walk around with a candle or take one upstairs. And since we only have one working flashlight she won't let you carry around that either. And then there is the fact that we have a well and when the electricity goes so does the water and that includes the toilet. Why do you always have to go to the bathroom as soon as mom says don't use the toilet we can't flush it? So, what do we do in the semi darkness?

Here are Luke and Sam sacked out on the couch. (It is amazing how much the flash lights up the room!)

And here is David on the floor. He claims he was not sleeping. Just listening to his music.

And Isaac reads by candle light. He would have made a better pioneer!! (Just ignore the craft mess I have going on the table! I hope to finish it up soon and get it put away!) We like it better when the lights (and water) are on! Millie
