We lost power Friday night..before Hurricane Irene even hit NC. Let me just say, it's an understatement when I tell you we got bored. The power ended up being out for a total of 47 hours-enough for us to loose our minds and all the ice cream in the freezer to melt. Here's a little recap of our weekend.
The picture isn't very good since I had to take it through the window (no rain for my camera!), but when there's a hurricane, you no longer see the normal MP cars...they get replaced with Humvees.
Friday night the rain and wind got pretty crazy and there were tornado warnings popping up for quite a while. Even though it was all out of my control, I could not get myself to go to sleep...and apparently Lexi decided she wanted to stay up and keep me company. She was excited to watch Monsters Inc. on the Ipod. By the time she went back to sleep at almost 3, I was finally exhausted enough to catch a few hours of sleep.
With no power, we had to find other things to occupy ourselves. After painting my own nails/toes, I decided to paint Lexi's little piggies for the first time. The first food was a piece of cake-she sat perfectly still while she looked at her magazine, so my only trouble was painting her teeny tiny toenails with a normal sized brush. The second foot on the other hand, was not so easy. She felt the need to kick her leg out every time the brush got close to her foot..resulting in some much needed nail polish remover.
