Well, it's been interesting around here lately!
ice storm
being without electric for 80 hours
then an earthquake(!)
Yes, i call that interesting!
First I'll take you back to Jan 31st.
Field trip with the school students.
A fun and fast day at Fort Sumter.
It was chilly but the sun felt good.
On Feb first i snapped this picture of our fast fading snowman! This was the last of the snow. We thought we wouldn't see any more white stuff for a very long time.
It's February fun month at school. This is clash day.
We played outside. In the dirt, of course.
The sweet neighbor lady came over and assisted me with Carter's school Valentine's.
And we made cut out cookies that resembled heart candies.
"Your just plane cool"
Then the unexpected happened. We had an ice storm.
The south is not prepared for such things.
The trees were covered up so much.
It was very pretty, but very destructive!
There were trees snapping
power lines falling
all.over.the.place!
Just up the road from us there is a black line burned across the road and on the grass, where the line fell.
It looks like a hurricane ripped through our land!
Icicles down south is very rare! :)
We tried to brave the cold and lasted for a full 12 hours. :)
Then we drove to visit friends and family.
While at our friends place, their electric came back on, so we moved in with them.
:)
I have no pictures.
But it was fun.
We got to experience an earthquake with them!
Something i never felt before.
Brooklyn even felt it and came down from her bed and asked why their house was wiggling. :)
Read about it here..
The one night we visited PaPa and Grandma and got in some more game playing.
No electric makes you slow down.
And it makes you appreciate the electric that you take for granted everyday!
We were very happy to have ours come back on (after 80 hrs) and move back home to our own beds.
The UPS deliveries were way behind. Late one eve. we received a package in the mail.
Happy children! :)
And then there was the bad hair day. :)

And now we are dealing with coughing and the like..
Which is leading to many sleepless nights..
fun times!
February is flying by!
