Sleepovers

Rainy season has finally hit, and that means sleepovers! Last night we were playing games at a friend's house when the power went out. We found some candles and began telling stories been candlelight.
My wife was telling a very strange story (because she wanted  it to rhyme) when suddenly the wind whipped up and started slamming doors shut all over the building. We "battened down the hatches" just in time for the first blast of rain.

The rain was heavy for a good while. We couldn't see much outside because of the power cut, but we figured there was probably a good deal of flooding going on. There probably wasn't much point in trying to get home through the flooded streets, so we set about making sleeping arrangements. My wife and I got the guest bed, which was a pretty sweet deal. Guest beds are a great invention, especially during rainy season.

The fantastic thing about last night was that we had toothbrushes along, even though we hadn't been expecting to spend the night. My wife had two spare toothbrushes in her purse because we had to stay overnight at another house two weeks ago when a similar storm hit during the evening. It's the little things that make a big difference!
