We had about a half inch of freezing rain last night before the power went out around 7pm. Since that is baby bedtime it was alright. We even managed to have all of our flashlights fully charged. The problems didn't come until this morning when I used the last of the water to fill a small dish for baby sponge baths. That is the bad part about a well. No electricity, no water. I always complain that the woodstove takes up a large part of my small living room, but I was sure glad it was there for heat. And it made for warm bathwater for the babies. Our phone was also out so we decided to head into town this morning to get some breakfast and stock up on some drinking water. I even managed to talk Greyson into a quick look through IKEA. When we got back home the power, water and phone were all back on. I still have to go get a shower and should do that soon since more freezing rain and snow is on its way. I might even fill the tub with water for toilet flushing.
I am making pea mush for the babies tonight. Hopefully that will go over better than the egg yolks I tried yesterday. That made Piper actually have a full body shiver she was so disgusted. Samia is doing pretty well for teething. I just can't believe my little baby is old enough to have teeth.
Must go shower....

I've tried blogging twice with no luck. Maybe 3rd time is the charm.
We had about 6 inches of snow, but some has melted. However, it is freezing again now and they are predicting more on the way.
We kept power except for some flickers. I made a snowman with very little help from my husband who is claiming illness.
Can't wait to see Samia with teeth -- sure to be very cute.
School is cancelled tomorrow. So much for workshops I had scheduled for all the elementary teachers.
I can sleep in and get caught up on some work, so its not all bad.
Hope you are all very safe. Stay off the roads.

I heard on the news that you would have eleven inches of snow. Did that happen?
Not only can you have warm water with your stove I would think you could warm up soup, etc. too. A very good thing. Keep those babies warm.
