We went to bed knowing that there was going to be a 'storm' over night....Brent woke up at 4 to call to see if he had to go to work, nope! So he went back to sleep! We woke up at 6am to no power! And ice on our bedroom windows! This is what our front yard looks like!
Not to much fun!!! But we cam down stairs and tried to keep warm. Brent decided to go to Safeway to get some food. He also got us cards
And Hot Chocolate from Starbucks! Philip thought it was very cool!
After sitting in a really cold house we decided to go out! Target was closed, But Wal-Mart was open! Along the way we took some really neat pics!
After we walked around Wal-Mart and rediscovered that we liked white cloud diapers and they are soooo much cheaper we went to lunch at Chili's
After Chili's we went to check out Target again. It was open with minimal lighting, but the cash registers worked!! We went back home. It was still warm upstairs and we were all dressed in layers so Michael went and took a nap and Brent shoveled the walk while me and Philip played in the ice!
The wind was really harsh and the ice was falling so we didn't stay out there very long! Later that afternoon we decided to try our fireplace to get some heat in the den. NO LUCK! It's just for looks, it actually got colder than anything. As the sun went down it got a lot colder in the house. We decided to leave and go to a hotel! (It was Valentine's Day) So we checked all the local hotels....booked....went to the fort....booked...they gave us a list of 10 hotels....45 minutes later....the cheapest hotel was $200 a night....finally we found one!! Funny it was in the BWI district minutes away from Brent's office!!! So Brent knew I had been wanting KFC for a few days so that was our dinner!
But we kept our heads up and only hollered a little at eachother!The bed was horrible and we found out the next morning that the window had been cracked the whole time!! We couldn't get the room really warm!! But it was a warm place for the boys!! Of course we have been yelled at by a few people that we should have called! (Another reason we NEED A CELL PHONE!!) But we made it home and by noon the next day we had power! And will never forget our Most unRomantic Valentine's Day ever!!!
The Boys all warm and knocked out in thier favorite room!! They are so easy! And we are blessed to have them!! And I'm blessed to have my wonderful husband! I love you, Brent!! Can't wait for next Valentine's Day!
