Power Outage

Around 7am yesterday (1/2 an hour before we head out the door) the power went out in our house. It attempted to come back on quickly & then stayed off. For a minute I thought I blew a circuit, but I really wasn't doing anything to cause that to happen. I ended up calling PG&E to confirm that there was an outage & that electricity would be restored by 9:30. The kids were watching a little morning TV while eating their cereal when it went out. They didn't know what to think. This hasn't happened too often that they really know what was going on. Bubs stated the following that had me cracking up... "Mom, maybe the batteries went out in the TV."

Good guess. I then showed them how the light was out in the fridge & that everything else was out too. I tried to explain that something caused the entire houses electricity to go out. And then K proceeded to tell me a story about a bird on a power line caused it to break... Such imaginations. I love it! When the power is out though, kids are not themselves. I took them to K's daycare where the power was also out & all the kids there seemed a little wired themselves. Something new & different happens & their behaviors change!?! Weird.
