Last week we had power outages 7 out of 9 days. These were never shorter than 5 hours and were sometimes as long as 12-18 hours. I used to love power outages as a kid…and even an adult in the US. Here, all I can think of is the fact that there will be no fans. It seems like this happens when it is so incredibly hot. There were multiple days that with humidity it was about 110. Either way we made the best of it and praise the Lord, it came on every night by 11pm so we could at least sleep with a fan:) and Kai loved it…candles, flashlights…all fun for a boy of 3. One night we pulled our mattresses into the living room and hung the mosquito net from the ceiling fan (since it wouldn’t be working) and had a family sleep over. Other nights we and sat on the floor (the coolest place to be) and did puzzles. All in all I am happy to say the power had been back on this week and I am so thankful!
And what puzzle did we work on you might ask. Well, Kai really likes his new "finger" puzzle as he calls it. Apparently they count on their fingers a little differently here in Peru...

Haha, that's great. I didn't know they counted like that. :)
You gotta love number 1. Hilarious. Should I be teaching Belle to count that way too? :) It's great catching up on your life. Thanks for sharing. Love you!
