"Insta"-replay #60, a dark and story night

Last week was rather boring except for one day.

It started out all fun and games, decorating trees with do-it-yourself kits.  Then the power went out.

So after the boys were picked up we left the dark house and headed to the mall for dinner.

The most likely cause of the power outage was a huge branch that feel in front of our driveway.  So I helped hold a flash light while my husband used his tractor to pull it out of the way.  I think he was secretly a little excited to have another reason to get his tractor out.

It was an unexpected break from the routine.
