No Power

Day 3 of no power. We turn on the generator for an hour or two, then off for two hours so we can conserve gas for the long haul. The worst shift is the 2:30-3:30/4 am shift that we have to do to keep the fridge and freezer cold.
A few things we've been doing to stay entertained:
  • board games (a lot)
  • movies on our portable DVD player and with the generator on we use our tv.
  • playstation (when the generator is on)
  • play dough
  • crafts
  • trains
  • Buzz and Woody toys
  • reading
  • walks with the dog
  • roasted hot dogs and marshmallows
  • ate a lot of junk
  • maybe got a little stir crazy now and then

Kent's work got power back quickly so he went back to work on Tuesday. We were able to get out of the neighborhood on Monday so we headed north for more gas and some fast food.

I was wondering when Kent had to go back to work, at least you got to shop before he had to head back. I asked mom just today what you had done to keep the kids entertained...sounds like a long list.
