Getting a Little Warmer

Kit Kat was happy during the power outage that the fish were still alive. That was the least of our worries. We had to stay alive. Little Kat had it right. We were in caveman times here.

Little Kat looked for food in the pantry. He found some queso which was eaten up quickly. Kit Kat lit a cinnamon candle. Then Momoko made her light a huge pine candle too.

At first we tried to make some instant soup with hot water from the tap. Later we attempted to use candlelight to heat water for soup. It was a fail.

Little Kat's scout leader had us buy a flashlight you mount on your head. I thought it was a little cheesy. But it came in handy when the house was dark. The kids learned how to light a Bic lighter during the outage.

At midnight after 12 hours of power outage, the power came back on. I saw a blinking clock. The heat started up. I heated up some White Castle cheeseburgers in the Microwave. Momoko and I played Mario on the Wii.
