½ Hearted

Tonight was Earth Hour- A one hour window where all good citizens turn off the electricity in their homes to celebrate environmental awareness. The only glitch for the Mullins home was that tonight was also the "Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards." How unfortunate for Mother Earth that she had to battle with slime, teen singers, the cast of the Jonas Brothers and High School Musical and Spongebob Square Pants.

I am sure that you have guessed by now who won, and it wasn't Mother Earth.

Anyway, K and I turned off all the other lights and appliances in the house except for the TV (though K did use the microwave for popcorn, but it was really quick) and felt that we at least acknowledged that we were cognizant of the occasion. Reagan volunteered to turn the lights off after the show was over. Just about bedtime then- so perfect timing. As we turn all the lights off every night; I don't see how it will interest Mother Earth, but never let it be said that the Mullins aren't environmentally aware. Laters.
