Baby, It's Cold Outside (and inside, incidentally)

So we're having a major ice storm right now. I don't ever remember seeing one this bad. The boys and I are pretty stir crazy. It started yesterday so we've been cooped up for 2 days straight and will be again tomorrow. sigh. Snow is fun. Fun for the boys. Ice, not so much. The power has been on and off all day. It is pretty depressing when it's out. It just seems so dark and dreary. Whenever the electricity comes back on, we all start cheering and feel so much happier. It's obviously on right now and I'm praying it stays on through the night. AJ left work early b/c the electricity finally went out at Arvest. He took us for a drive to see all the ice. It's crazy. Trees are uprooted and laying down everywhere. Our poor trees have taken a beating.

There is definitely beauty in it though . . .

Our poor tree...those branches used to stand straight up.
AJ's going to have a great time removing all the branches from our back yard when this is over.
Thank you Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison. I am a fan. Pin It

  1. Hope you made it through the night ok - with power. We made it fine to mom and dad's and are enjoying the warmth, power, etc. Downtown Fayetteville was a war zone!
    Worried about you.
