We survived Noel!

We're among the lucky ones as well!! We lost power in the wee hours Sunday a.m. and didn't get it back till 7 p.m. last night. It was a welcomed sight since poor Daddy was running out of creative ideas with his shadow puppets. :) What a champ!! All in all, we made out well. Just 2 trees came down between our property and the neighbours, and they kindly landed in the V of another tree.

Friday night I stocked up at the grocery store and we chilled for the rest of the night. Sat a.m. we went to Kaylea's b-day party (friend's daughter) and had a ball watching E bowl for the first time. It was so fun! I really miss it and think we should do it more often. On the way home, the rain started and I started to get nervous...not like me. I love storms but guess being preggers and all. DH put the lawn furniture away while I filled the tubs and a 10L bucket with water. We had the candles and flashlights prepped too. We all napped in the afternoon and in the evening, DH & I worked on removing the characters in Lily's room. SOS pads worked much better and got them off quicker.

Although it was blustery, I slept well. DH was awake till about 3 a.m. E woke early, 6 a.m. which was really 5. I got up with her, got her bkft and lied on the couch while she played. We landed back in my bed and she jumped around/played with her baby. Once Nana was up, E went out with her and I got a bit more sleep. Once DH & I were up, we got the Coleman stove out and had bacon & eggs. We went in town for coffee and passed about a dozen Tim's that were either full up or closed b/c it had no power. We resorted to Robin's in the end. We drove out to Purcell's Cove afterwards and watched the ocean waves. It was crazy!! You could see white water way, way out in the ocean.

Well, I better get back to it. Just today and tomorrow left. Cannot wait!!!
