Oh that sucks! We’re really lucky to have a gas stove, and town water. That being said, there was a huge blackout across most of the province, and part of the States, when I was pregnant with the Princess, and I had to borrow a phone from the neighbours, because ours are all cordless and don’t work without power.

Oh – and it wouldn’t have done you much good in the daytime, but we keep a pack of those glow-in-the-dark bracelets (like you see at concerts, we get them at the dollar store) in with the candles. The kids love them, and they give off enough light for them to use as a nightlight, and get to the loo if necessary, when the power goes out after dark.

Yeah, they're really good those power companies with the whole "we'll fix it, just don't rush us" crap. Jaynes last blog post..Trivial History September 27

Flashlight hide and seek – gotta play it next time. Keeps them busy for…30 minutes or so. Better still – make shadow puppets. Another 15-30 minutes killed.

Sorry that you had to live without power. We’ve sent people to the moon – you’d think we’d come up with a consistent power source that they would actually use!

I’m with lceel, the minute that lotto win is in my hands I’m heading to Tassie with plumbing fixtures and a generator. Meantime ring those Aurora people and tell them very firmly that you have a toddler and a newborn, a tank water supply which relies on electric power and the next time the power goes out you need to be restored FIRST. Pity you don’t have a BBQ that’s wood or gas powered. BBQ’d eggs……….

Hurricanes have knocked us out of power for a few days on end. I can totally relate. Only mine isnt a toddler and my hubby doesn’t help. He’s just as bad.

The soup sounds yummy!!

Blimey – glad it was all ok in the end. Living with a toddler with no heat, entertainment, hot food or water is not fun.
