power's out

With all the rain we have been having lately, the power has been going out a lot. We do have a generator, but waiting for it to be turned on sometimes isn't an option. When the power is out, that means the fans can't run, the air gets thicker and hotter and tired little boys can't sleep.

One evening, it went out just before bedtime for the boys... We decided to go to the CAC to stay cool up there, and kill some time until our generator was running. Matix learned how to play air hockey. He needed to stand on the coffee table, but he really did well.

Hawken just watched. :) He was in a zombie state since he was awake until almost 7pm! That is really late for him.

Matix did fine staying up past his bedtime, until it was time to go back home. He had a meltdown, proving he shouldn't stay up that late and needed to be in bed. :) Sweet boy. When we got home the power was back on and both boys fell asleep within seconds of laying down.

You are so sensible to insist on an early bedtime. It's good for all concerned. The boys get all the sleep they need, and you get time to be with your husband and get your work done. Smart all around!
