We have had a crazy week. Last Thursday we had an ice storm that shut down the entire town for 6 days! The first night was pretty fun, we had lost power, so we put a bunch of mattresses together by the fireplace, and the kids went wild.
I am pretty sure the kids would love this set up permanently, but let's just say between the wiggling bodies and Cotton's 2 am serenade, dad and I did not get the best night sleep. The next morning I promptly announced our impromptu vacation. My sister was awesome enough to take us all in for the week, it's wonderful to have her so close. She basically gave us an entire floor of her house. So really we made out well. It was nice to stop our busy lives for a while and spend some time together. The kids spent hours at the fantastic parks my sister has in her neighborhood, the whole neighborhood has a medieval theme, so they crawled through the tunnels of underground dungeons, and rode on the backs of dragons. Great food, great shopping (HHEEELLLOOO Target, it's been a long time my friend) and GREAT company.
Now back to reality. School starts back on Monday, and life in our town is slowly creeping back to life. Nothing like shaking things up a bit.
