FRIDAY NIGHT BLACKOUT!!

Friday Steve and Sadie got to spend the whole day together. Steve mowed the lawn while Sadie played. She is really liking the grass now. Steve had a doctor's appointment (which everything is going really well with his breathing. His capacity has improved significantly) so Sadie got to go and visit all the nurses who of course cooed and fawned over her. After that they made a shopping trip to Winco.

When I got home Steve and I decided to watch "We Are Marshall" we hadn't seen it yet. so we started the movie around 7pm. We were about 15 minutes into the movie when the power went off. Steve got the flashlight and I got our little green night light (thanks Grandma & Grandpa Eastlick). We checked outside and the whole neighbor hood was out. We get called PG&E and they said they'd hopefully had it back on between 7:37 and 9:37pm. So we hunkered down and played with the flash light thinking they'd get it on closer to 8 than 9. After an hour Sadie was tired so we put her down. So Steve and I sat and listened to some comedian that he had on his phone until about 9pm. So we called and check and it said they weren't going to have it up for about another hour. So we went to bed. The power finally came on at 10pm.

Here are some pictures of the event as well as a little video of Sadie playing with the flashlight. We tried to get her attention on the ceiling where we were making shadow puppets but she was too interested in the actual flashlight.

Please keep in mind the first few pictures are lit up from the flash...there were no lights on except for the flash light and our green person. Sadie really enjoyed the event!
