Random Power Outage

Nothing like a power outage on the first week of school to screw up your newly implemented evening routines! We had just finished dinner (luckily) when the power went out. The girls were fine for a few minutes, then the started driving me nuts! "It's hot!", "What can we do?", etc. Cory wasn't home, so we decided to drive around. That's when things got weird...the power was out everywhere we went. I tried to search on my phone, but I couldn't get service to the Internet. People were outside all over the neighborhood. I started getting an eerie feeling. I called Mom and asked her to search to make sure there wasn't some weird Zombie Apocalypse or something! She searched and said that a huge transformer had caught on fire. Thank goodness...nothing to worry about. Well, except the fact that we still didn't have power and it was 95 degrees and it was almost bedtime. So, we decided to stop off at the park for a little random middle of the week play time. They burned off some energy, then we went home to a bath in the dark, and they tried to go to sleep. When Cory got home, we got the generator running for the fridges and a couple fans. We were crazy hot, so we went for a midnight swim to cool down. Of course, about an hour after we finally got everything up and running the power came on. Life is always an adventure :)
