I just heard it on our news and was surprised. I have pledged to turn off the lights (and just notified my DH). Now I need ideas. We have a 2 and 4 year old. I will get some flashlights and candles but what shall we do???

Our kids are so excited about this for tonight. Excited about sitting in the dark for a hour! My dd wants to do it every Saturday night now.

This is what my dd said too. Then she said she wanted to start doing this EVERY night. I think it had something to do with the ambiance of the 6 candles we had going all over the house, though, because about 1/2 hr. into it she was "bored"...lol
