When the remnants of Ike swept through Cincy, it knocked out the power pretty much across the city. We lost our power in the 70 mph winds on Sun around 2:30, had a brief four hour return in the middle of the night last night and then heard a transformer explode, so we are back in the dark. I don't mind too much, except that it severely limits eating options. A has lived on bagels with jelly for the last 48 hours since he's such a picky eater. My parents have their electricity back, so we are hanging out at their house for the day. It's nice to have a warm meal and milk to give my kid. Makes me so thankful that we live in such a blessed country that I don't think twice about flipping on a switch.
Our neighbors built a fire last night and three families gathered around to share some smores. It was a fun way to pass the long hours. A had a great time and thankfully never tried to touch the fire. We were also successful in just giving him graham crackers and avoiding the marshmallows and chocolate without any fight.
