Phew....
What a week. If you live in the Tulsa area, you know what I'm talkin' about. Last year we got that crazy ice storm where we were all shut-ins...you could not walk down to your mailbox without falling...it was so slick. This year, completely different. I was out the day after the storm, the roads were fine, it was the trees. The trees would snap off under the weight of the ice.

Nearly everyone lost power (at least for a little bit). Monday - all the stores were closed....even Walmart. Tuesday we had no power and that night drove several miles trying to find a place to eat.
On Wade's Birthday we woke up to our 2nd day without power. We had all huddled together by the living room fire to sleep...it was COLD. I'm not so good sleeping on the ground...I ached for 2 days afterwards. I used to LOVE camping with my friends...I'm either way out of practice or becoming very "city-fied". The kids had a blast, Riley actually pouted when the lights came back on...until she realized electricity=TV.
Literally it looks like a tornado swept through the city.
The trees at our house are droopy, but still intact. We did have pretty extensive damage at a property we own in midtown.
Riley was out of school all 5 days, because the schools didn't have power.
We did manage to get a little snow this weekend, there wasn't much, but we enjoyed what we could of it.
