Yesterday it began to flurry...then it began to snow...then it began to rain...then it began to freeze with ice everywhere. It was beautiful, and it's quite wonderful that I no longer have to travel out in it. Joshua and I watched with interest from inside as the ice pelted down. Then last night just before his bedtime (thank God Shawn had already changed him into his PJ's when he needed a fresh diaper), our electricity went out. It was STINKIN' DARK (as Grandma Ginder would say). Joshua cried out because even though he was less than two feet from us, he couldn't see us. Shawn picked him up while I helped dig out our flashlight, candles and lighter. We looked outside and the entire neighborhood was dark. So, we lit a million candles, and I grabbed the cell phone to call mom and make sure she had power and was okay. She was, so we decided to put Joshua to bed, who in the meantime had grabbed the flashlight and was waving it around and laughing about it. That is, until he'd accidentally shine it right into his own eyes, which royally aggravated him. Silly Bean! We took the light and put him in his crib and then chatted in our room with the candlelight until the lights came back on an hour later. Joshua was already asleep, so we set our alarm clocks, set the cell phone alarm clock "in case" and kept it by the bed, blew out all the candles and decided to call it a night.
