A Treat for Millie Day and a Small Hurricane

Happy Friday everyone!

Last night we had a small hurricane blow through, knocking out the power

for a few hours.

That's the second storm this week!

We live about 15 minutes north of our kids,

so we were getting the wind, rain and lightening

before they were.

As soon as our lights came on,

theirs went off.

By about 9:30 or so,

everyone had their power back on,

just in time to go to bed.

I did manage to do some reading by candlelight, which was nice.

Now...as for the daytime portion of this crazy day...

I took the girls to see PawPaw at work.

Here they are, looking down at the parking lot below

from the 3rd floor.

The office building is very nice and has several cafes inside,

so of course, they got a treat. 

 The wind was really blowing that morning

(a sign of what was coming later on),

and they wanted to play outside,

but it was time to take a tour of PawPaw's office.

The office manager offered them some snacks,

which they politely declined,

since they had just had their coffee treat.

I was so proud of them for saying

no to more treats.

They were able to see where PawPaw goes to work

every day and Addie saw that he had a piece

of her recent artwork on the wall,

which she was so happy about.

The rest of our day was spent

doing crafts, playdoh,

attempting a puzzle,

barbies,

and watching an animated show

about Helen Keller.

In the afternoon I had to get them home

and get back to my house before the storm

came in.

I made it in plenty of time, thankfully.

That's the second storm we've had this week.

I hope that isn't an indicator of what hurricane season

is looking like this summer. 

I hope your week has been drier than mine 😀

Have a wonderful weekend!

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
