This morning started out normal enough. All of us got up, marvelled at the snow outside, ate some breakfast, and then Ben started getting ready to head into work for a few hours {after having had to work the night shift}. Just before he was about to leave - the power went out. And it was still snowing. Hoping that it wouldn't be out long, I just encouraged him to go on to work and not worry about starting a fire.
After about two hours of no power, the house started getting a little chilly, so I popped a hat on Ellie while she took her morning nap {in the bouncy seat so that she was in the warmest room}....
...and one on Noah too, while he colored and ate a snack. 
He didn't seem to mind though - he kept saying, "Sno! Sno! Sno iz snoee!"
Luckily, Ben came home not long afterwards and started a fire to keep us all nice and warm.
Four hours later, the power came back on.
{Ironically, not long after that, my parent's house lost power in Oklahoma City.}
