This Saturday the world is celebrating Earth Hour by turning off the lights and unplugging every unnecessary thing for one hour. Consider it your way to give the earth a little hug AND an excuse to play in the dark. What's better than that?
Here are some ideas I came up with for enjoying the hour
(alone, with a sweetie-pie, with your family, what have you):
play night games
(of the mafia, murder in the dark, escape to alcatraz variety)
eat dinner by candle light
roast things in a fire
(reducing carbon emissions...?)
star gaze
bathe by candle light
tell secrets
call to night owls
make homemade music
and dance
(take advantage of the fact that no one can really see you)
draw things and laugh about them when you turn the lights back on
pretty much anything by candle light
bite into wintergreen life savers and try to see sparks
practice warbling
throw bananas
pray
snuggle
sleep

This is very exciting and I'm so excited to tell kyle so we can figure out how to celebrate this occasion. millie will be sleeping, but we could light some candles and read and write silly stories or something. It would be a change from watching a movie every Saturday night like he likes to do.
I'll be there or I'll be square!
This is great. I hope it doesn't take me the entire hour to unplug all our electronics. Yikes! To start off the hour I'll be singing lullabies to my kiddies, and then referring to your list (pre-printed of course) for more ideas.
:)
I liked your list. What are you planning on doing?
Ooh ooh... I want to do all the things on that thar list!!
sleeping.
thanks for the letter! I'll return one soon!
