EARTH HOUR

Today was Earth Hour!  SOOO at 8:30 from 9:30 we unplugged everything. We lite candles and sat in the dark for an hour. Sounds fun hey, Well it was, We went to the store and bought earthy food { grapes, watermelon, stawberries }  And the kids thought it was going to be like camping so we had to get smore stuff.  We sat and talked about how lucky we are to even have power and back in the day this is how they lived. It seemed dark at first but then it felt bright in the house and it was really quiet and peaceful, we all had fun and the kids were sad it had to end. The kids want to do this once a week so I guess we will have Earth Day every family home evening, if you want to live in the past for an hour come to our house around 6 on mondays! 

All in all we had fun lighting the candles, eating fruit and smores and taking fun Earth Day family pictures in the DARK.  Oh and the kids cant wait for the Movie EARTH to come out on April 22!  I have been impressed with Carson, he really takes a liking to space, earth and anything to do with recycling ..He is my earth muffin! He especially is looking forward to the movie. He sits and watches the trailer over and over, I dont blame him it does look pretty awesome! enjoy the way to many pictures I posted.
