After three full days without power (well, actually with some spotty generator power, but no REAL power) we have done All The Things. There is simply nothing left to do with a toddler and a preschooler that we have not done.
We went sledding, drank hot cocoa, made beaded necklaces, colored pictures, sculpted with play-dough, constructed a marble run, made puppets and held puppet shows, had playdates with neighbors and school friends, used precious bits of the ipad's batteries to play games and read stories, read actual paper books, and more books, and then some more books, drew on the windows with markers, goofed around with flashlights and lanterns, played hide-and-seek in total darkness, and adorned ourselves with Halloween-themed temporary tattoos (that are currently proving very difficult to wash off).
Thankfully, school was open today. And the power is back on, so we can go back to being more reliant on electronic entertainment for the kids than I ever realized we were.
