Wordless Wednesday: Emergency Sleepover

Sunday night, several hours after Irene had passed, our power went out. When it was still out Monday morning I packed up the kids and headed over to my mom's where we spent the night. We all slept in the living room - the toddler in his pack-n-play, the other 3 on the sofa bed and myself on the far right of the couch. Daddy stayed home to watch over the house.

Before you say how sweet they look, note that this picture was preceded by an hour of "mommy, he's touching me!"

  9. I can't blame you for leaving when your power didn't come back. Living without electricity is NO fun.

    Before I saw your caption I was wondering how many "he's touching me!" moments you had to deal with. That reminds me of summer vacations with my family. LOL

    (Can't comment with my Google account because I'm on IE at work and it doesn't like embedded comments. :-( )

  12. Kinda fun! We had no power for a few hours, but not overnight. Still we have neighbors with no power and no hope until Friday or Saturday at the earliest!

  16. Aww you have to admit those are great memories minus the reason you all were there. So happy that all you ended up with was no power, i was so worried about you all in that path way!

  17. LOL! But they do look so sweet sleeping, even if they did keep saying "mommy he is touching me" lol!

  18. Sleepovers with little people is always a bad idea. I'm about to embark on a week-long visit to my mom's house where I will be going through the same thing. Ugh.

  20. So glad y'all are okay. Everyone looks so snug! We were without power after the tornadoes back in April, but thankfully, I could just let the kids run around outside because the weather was nice.
