We Like IKE!

So many possible titles, so few Blogs to name!

Power was out, phone was out, cable was out, everything stopped for Hurricane Ike to fly by. What a mess! We evacuated to Lolly & Pop's, mostly to watch the Oregon game on Saturday, but obviously, that didn't happen.

While the lights were out, Mommy Lion & Lolly got Me, Daddy Lion, to hang crosses? What did you think we'd do with the lights out? (KEEP IT CLEAN PEOPLE!)

The results are here:











We spent the night, the power came on after about only four hours, but our house was dark and quiet for about 30 hours. We'll head back tonight.

Little Pumpkin discovered the computer and ABSORBS how things work, she was fairly confident finishing Mommy's game for her.











Sometimes she's way too big for her own britches!

  4. Glad to hear that you are safe and sound. Too bad you didn't have any power for the game. It was a good one.

  7. The ultimate in engineering to be a decorator. Asymetrical or symetrical? which is it supposed to be? While you were busy talking to your dad about the football game you should have called your mom for decorating advice. You'd get a "c" so you passed. You just didn't know some of the rules as well as you know the football rules. Love ya - Grandma Lion.

  8. Looks like you have a future blogger there. Love the crosses display. Must be a Texas thing? I saw several similiar displays on interior shots of houses in the Midland area that I was browsing on a real estate site. Nice break for me from moose and bear decor! Hope you ride out the storm unscathed!
