Tonight at approximately 8:05 (5 minutes tardy) we commenced our 60 minutes of switching it off. There was a bit of a freak out from the girls, what with fire being involved and everything. All the safety stuff at school really freaks them out about natural disasters and fire. The topic of fire often rears its ugly head in every prayer-morning, meal and night. So naturally you can see how having candles lit would freak them out. We managed to calm them down, seeing as to they only had to put up with candles and flashlights for 10 minutes until we got them all sorted out in their beds. Mark and I managed to pass the time working quietly on word puzzles and reading award-winning non-fiction. No, really it is true-see look here a picture! In keeping with lights out we took it without a flash-by candlelight only. Some wax got on my camera but it all peeled off just fine. All in all we feel that it was a good experience and one we wouldn't mind repeating in the future. Plus, it was fun to run around and check out some of the heathen, earth-hating neighbors that chose not to participate. We are down about a dozen rotten eggs, but it was all worth it to teach them folks a good lesson.
