Power Outage

I LOVED the power outage! It was kind of scary at first, but suddenly everything was going good. We could still boil hot dogs because we had a gas stove, and we sliced some peaches for dinner. We went through all our flashlights for the good ones that still worked, then pulled out a bunch of candles. When it got dark, about 30 candles were lighting up our kitchen. It was SO beautiful!!! Then, even better, school was canceled the next day even though the power had gone back on. It was the ultimate party... Too bad Alicia, Brooke, Lauren, and Seth had to miss it. I miss you guys! And Riley, of course. But he's doing the most important thing he could do right now, so he's excused.
