Ma Ingalls Would Be Proud!

We had a power outage this week because of heavy winds - no blizzard for us.  It happened right at bedtime, so all the children were ushered into my room and my bed.  We lit many, many candles - enough to read by - and had quite an adventuresome time. 

It was challenging but fun to have distractions eliminated, no clean-up, no media, just imaginations and each other.  I wish I had an audio of the giggles to replay whenever I wanted.  It was so cute.

I find it amusing that I now relate to "Ma" instead of my little girl heroine, Laura.
