Last night around 6:30pm our power went out due to some kind of equipment failure. About 18 houses in the area were affected. Kellen, the boys and I stayed outside until dark because the house was so dim. As night set in, we lit candles and tried to put Charlie to bed, who was a little freaked out by the total blackness and lack of sound (no whirring air conditioners, no buzzing screens, no distant TV mumbles - just silence). Needless to say, Charlie didn't get to bed until 9:30pm and Walker didn't crash until well after 10pm.
This morning, Charlie was up at 5:30am, but then fell dead asleep around 7:30am. Walker is still zonked out in my bed at 8am. Power came back on around 5:30am. All the lights in the house lit up and I listened to the zippy crackle as all of our devices came back online. The air kicked back in and I got up and watched the house temperature fall from 83 to 74 degrees. It was a warm dark night, but everyone is safe and happy and sound asleep now. Well, except of course for me and the dog.

Oh Charlie.....I love the face plant. Sometimes it just goes down like that. So stinkin' sweet. And Walker.....what could be better? Looks like you're in a cloud.
Wish I could be half as limber as Charlie zonked!! It would be fun to be sitting in a meeting and just zonk out that way!! What a pain to be without power for that long. Definitely strange!!! Hope you got a chance to zonk out a bit along the way today (ya, right!!).
