The very last day of February vacation was interesting. Why? Because Thursday night there was a very big storm. Trees were ripped out of the ground, some simply cracked in half...many fell and took with them the power. Although we were not hurt and our home was safe, we were some of the many who lost power for multiple days. We lost it for 3 days total. The kids didn't even notice during the day. They were super excited because we did lots of projects. Thank goodness Grandpa and Lori had bought the kids several kits for Christmas. We started Cassidy's indoor creature garden, Kayla's sea monkeys (which are now huge a
nd thriving), and enjoyed painting Cassidy's horse model.
When it started to get dark, we collected all the candles in the house. It is the only time Brian has appreciated my candle collection. The kids were very excited but we didn't stick around home. We went to visit friends and stayed until bed time. The kids were asleep by the time we got home, and didn't get to appreciate a night without power. It was better for everyone this way. Brogan spent a lot of time defending and protecting the stuffed cat collection. For some reason he was obsessed with this. He tucked them all into bed with him. I wish I had a photo of this because there is an impressive collection of stuffed kittens in our home. It was difficult to identify the toddler among all the stuffed kittens.
And so ends February vacation. The kids will get an additional week off at the end of April. We are hoping that we don't have any storms during that week.
