Power Outage

Thursday night we lost power! This is the very first time we have ever lost power in the entire time we've lived in our house - 8 years! We have under-ground power lines which is why it never happens. But the power company had a problem with a transformer and an entire portion of the city lost power.
The electricity went off while we were at gymnastics, which had power and is on the opposite side of town. I had a voicemail and texts from neighbors and friends checking in to see if we were ok. so we were prepared when we got home that it would be dark.
It was dark - I got the flashlights and lanterns and candles out and lit.
Ally was totally fine with it - especially when we said she could watch some TV - on her dvd player!
Here she is in the dark:
 

Then the lights came back on and she stayed in the same position and did not even acknowledge that there was electricity again until her show was over!
