Really?

Really Connecticut?  An October snow storm?  ANOTHER power outage, this time in cold weather?  We were out of power for almost 6 days but some people just got power yesterday!  Really Connecticut?  On the 29th we had a snow storm with heavy wet snow.  The trees still had most of thier leaves so tons of branches broke and took out power lines.  We have electrical everything so we had no way to keep warm without power and no place to go until we did. So we drove down to the less affected areas to find a generator.  We had our refrigerator, a few lights and our space heaters powered up.  Oh and of course the DVD player, can't live without that.  We hung up some sheets to partition off our living room to keep the warm in so we ended up staying in ONE little room DAY AFTER DAY.
Our "warm room" or "cell", whichever...
Can you tell I went a little bonkers?  It was real.  It was not fun.  It was not real fun.
Happy Halloween.  Poor pumpkins, goodbye mums.
The storm at the beginning.
Boo to being cold. Later in the week it got down to 45 in the house.

Glad that your power is back on. We have been thinking about you guys. Looks like you were still able to have a good Halloween. I love the kids in their costumes.
