We were so lucky we didn't have any damage to the house/cars. Only one very large tree limb that fell on the power lines inthe backyard and made a huge mess! Here is the pictures before and after the the tree fell. We went from Sunday morning to Wednesday afternoon without power. It wasn't that bad. We had people freaking out wondering what we were going to do! I told them we would do the same things we always do minus lights, laundry, cooking! Made my life easier!haha.. It was somewhat relaxing and gave Jason some special one-on-one time with the kiddos and silence. I thought it was good to give him time being creative about what to do after dark. We are so dependend on the electricity and modern conveniences but sometimes we need to remember the simple things. Just turn it all off and go sit with the kiddos and play and talk and read! I think we all should make one day a week a day for no housework, no tv, no computer..just the kids and you doing things together!! I am going to try hard to do it. We are so used to having the tv as background noise and the computer on 24/7...we all need a break and get back to the simple things in life! We are missing so much!!
Outside they still have the caution tape up. I am guessing i will have to call them and figure out if they are finished. I am sure they are because the power line has been fixed for days but i am not taking any chances. Jason is out of town until tomorrow night so i will call tomorrow and find out if we can start clean-up efforts. They are having a heavy limb day through the town so they will pick all the mess up as long as we get it curbside this week! I am ready for it to be picked up. I hope it didn't ruin the kid's pirate ship! They love love love that thing.
