Rockford, trying to get Poppy to pull it together after a particularly disobedient spell: I need you to be the very best Poppy you can be.
Poppy, crestfallen: But sometimes my heart just falls apart.
Rockford, having entirely melted: Well, we have to find a way to put your heart back together.
Poppy: The only thing that puts me back together is Petey’s laughing.

I heart modern conveniences
We are home, and I think all of my Christmas shopping is done. Tonight, we wrap. Tomorrow, more shoveling.
Powerless
A great and large storm dropped about 9 inches of snow on our house yesterday. Our power went out around 3pm, and as of this writing it hasn’t come on yet. Because we had no candles, we went to bed very early last night. It was pretty cold in the house when we turned in. The temperature in the house this morning was a crisp 45 degrees. So we abandoned ship. We’re staying at my in-laws’ house tonight.
A few things this experience has taught me:
I would share pictures of our winter wonderland, but we had to hike down the hill to get to the car this morning, and I didn’t want to add to the Stuff To Carry pile. I did take some pictures of the kids playing yesterday; I’ll try to share those after we get back home.
Update! The power company’s Twitter feed (I know!) says they’re estimating that most of the power outages will be fixed by 11pm Monday. That’s tomorrow night. For most of the outages. I’m very thankful that we had a place to go!
