Well... If kids are around:
Play games
Read books outloud
Do crafts


No kids around?
Dancing of the baby sort

I am used to electricity going out back home in Louisiana during hurricanes. We would always play board games (I have grown to love them), read books, and for me and my hubby, we sit, snuggle and just talk. He has always been good about talking to me. Plus I love hearing his Navy stories.

Also, yes, there is BD'ing. Lol. But if there is no electricity, there is no air conditioning and it is just too hot for that here.

Before DH and I were married we had our first power outage over Christmas. It was out for 7 whole days. So we did a lot of grilling to cook things, lots of talking, and we actually had a stack of really old magazines so we read those. It was fun to see old pictures of celebs and take really goofy quizzes. We also invested in batteries so we could listen to some music/news on the radio. Oh yea! One other thing that we did was DH had a hand-held game called something like 20Q for 20 Questions. You would think of an object and the game would ask 20 questions that you would answer with a yes or a no and it would guess what you were thinking of. Too weird and a lot of fun.

I live very rurally so we would have outages once or twice a year that would last a week on average. It gets old since we can't even use water (electric water pump) so we got a generator. Best thing we ever bought!
