day 91 - your mission, should you choose to accept it

Earth Hour 2012.

Five little kids braved the darkness and explored the darkest depths of the great outdoors.

Their mission, should they choose to accept it: find the glow in the dark Easter eggs and bring them back to the house.












The glow in the dark Easter eggs were made by putting small glow sticks inside plastic Easter eggs. The glow in the dark sidewalk chalk is from a kit by Crayola. It takes longer than the package says for it to harden, so to speed it up (and make it far more vibrant) I baked it in the oven at 400 F for ten minutes and then threw it in the fridge for a few minutes. It worked like a charm.

What did you do for Earth Hour?

Join Us

Tonight we celebrate Earth Hour from 8:30-9:30 pm. The World Wildlife Fund is asking everyone on the planet to turn off their lights for one hour as a show of our commitment to finding solutions to climate change.

John and I wondered what we'd do with a whole hour away from our computers. Then we thought of something.

One little hour seems a small amount of time to show support for the entire future of our planet. I hope you'll join us. I mean that figuratively. Don't come over. Do something at your house.

But you could join us this afternoon at the San Gabriel Valley Bloggers' Potluck. Bloggers, friends, families, fans and lurkers are all invited. It would be lovely to see you there!
