So last night I started to update the blog and let all of you in on the happenings of our exciting lives this past week. I was in mid sentence on our Friday night at home posting when we lost power, due to the 40-50 mph winds. No internet, no computer, no nothing. So we had to go to bed. Well I actually played minesweeper for a while on my laptop until I got sleepy, and went to bed.
The power came back on sometime in the middle of the night waking us up with bright lights and a screaming television. We got up this morning got ready and went to work. I thought it was a little chilly in the house, but I just figured it was due to the colder air front that came in with the storm. But actually our furnace went out and didn't come back on when the power did. When Scott got home this evening he tried to light it, but it will not light. He has tripped the breaker or tripped the switch or something like that (it consisted of him pushing a hidden button) , but still will not light. So we turned the oven on, got the little electric heater blowing in the hallway to help the bedrooms stay warm, put on our socks and warm pj's, made levi a nest downstairs to sleep in (don't want him upstairs without heat) and are hoping it doesn't get too cold. Oh we also light the fireplace in the basement, which is keeping the house nice and toasty warm, but we can't let it go all night because it is making the wall hot above the fireplace. I just do not think that a hot wall, burning fire, and a sleeping family seem to make a good combination in my book.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to post some pictures and tell you about our special pizza and new hair bows.
trying to stay warm,
Leah
ps - I tried to capture my fireplace with my camera, but it just looked a little cheesy, so close your eyes and just imaging my a fire in my fireplace.
