Summer of (no) power!

This summer has been terrible, when it came to the severe weather. It was hot as hell and it seemed there was a thunderstorm every other night. We lost power on three different occassions - all day on May 31, June 18-20 and July 28-29. Having a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old with no power is, quite frankly, no fun. They have NO idea what's going on and it's hard to keep them entertained without TV, radio, computers, etc., especially when the sun goes down. One good side affect of these power outtages, though, is Harmon's new fascination with the weather. One way for us to explain things to him during these storms was to let him see the weather map on my iPhone. Since then, he can't get enough of the Weather Channel and keeping us updated on any upcoming storms!
