Storms

A couple of weeks ago there were some major storms rolling thru our part of the state. One night it got really dark and the alarms started going off so off Natalie and I went to the hall bathroom (this is our "safe room"). We had lots of pillows and blankets and a few of her toys, plus a flashlight. Matt was home that night (thankfully!) and he stayed out in the living room to monitor the news until it got really bad.

The electricity went on and off a couple of times during about 30 minutes so I made a game out of it with the flashlight. She loved it and once the weather got better and we could go back in the living room, she found the big blue mag light matt had been using. The maglight was one my dad had given us many moons ago. Like most of our flashlights, we inherited these throughout the years from my father who had an extreme love of light; flashlights, led anything, fluorescent, etc... We thought my dad must have had a good time watching his little granddaughter enjoy the big blue maglight for herself.
