Boys wondering if it will be warmer outside than in.
Yummy . . . ice cycles!

Outside was entertainment for at least an hour!

Checking out the damage

Cooper wanted to make lunch, here are his choices

Things I never thought I would say or think until after the recent 'Ice Storm 2007'

1. I will never underestimate the weathermen or make fun of them for over doing it about the upcoming weather again.

2. I will not make fun of those people who stock up at WalMart with "necessities" like batteries, candles, matches and non perishable food.

3. Next time I will be the first in line at WalMart with those items in my cart.

4. I will now be placing an idol of Benjamin Franklin on my mantle. I will thank him daily for his invention of electricity.

5. In fact I will even be naming our next son Benjamin.

6. I will be sending a Christmas card and gift to the wonderful employees every year at ONG for getting my electricity on at rapid speed.

7. I will never tell my children they are watching to much TV. "Soak it all up boys who know when the next outage will be!"

8. I will never pray for quietness again. It is freakishly SCARY during the night hours!

9. "If you two do not get quiet and go to sleep I WILL BLOW YOUR CANDLE OUT!" literally.
