Earth Hour = Lots of Laughter

Last night we participated in the Earth Hour event by shutting off all electricity driven appliances. I was a little nervous about the kids (Normally they are in bed by 8pm) Last night we watched the Bee movie and that put us behind schedule for baths and bedtime. The kids had a blast! We lit candles and had flashlights.
I am not sure what Jaxson thought was happening, but apparently it was a great game!
We played shadow puppets, which Isabella is really good at. Then came bath time. Candlelight baths are no longer for relaxing moms! Nope, the kids were ecstatic! We may have to repeat this just because of all the fun that was had.

Thanks to Debby at Bee in Italy for making me aware of this event. We really enjoyed ourselves. Debby had a party with friends and a dinner by candlelight. Check out her blog for the lovely pictures and story!

What a great time! It's funny to think of what the babies must be thinking when something out of the ordinary happens like that.

I learned about it when we tried to Google something and the Google page was all black. I thought, oh here we go again...computer problems, but no, it was just Earth Hour. We participated for a1/2 hour. ;)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could do that more than once a year? Oh wait. We can. :)

Sorry for the spam but I'm letting everyone on the Heads Or Tails blogroll know that HoT has a home of its own! You can find it HERE. :)
