Earth Hour...2009... in the dark?

I am SO PROUD to say.... that we "WERE IN THE DARK !" .... where were YOU?  Did YOU join, the Eiffel Tower?... The Acropolis,... THE Empire State Building????   Earth Hour...just ONE hour....but what an HOUR in the whole scheme of the EARTH...the GLOBE...the WORLD... 

We were SET, here at the "E" house...we had a "count down"...we were IN TO IT !....

It made for an EASY bedtime (as if we have anything but easy bed time around here)... SO...with "Bevie" and camera in hand, I went for a stroll... to see where my neighbors stood......  THis is US....

 NOT so impressed with 95% of my neighbors...

 

Next Year... I am placing "signs" in my front yard and passing out flyers..... !  The ones that were DARK... well, let's just say that their lights are ALWAYS OUT ! (one to forclosure)...   click on the link to my brother Tom....

Father Daughter Dance...

The girls have been planning!  and prepping ! and getting ready....for this moment!  It is finally HERE !   The Father Daughter Dance !

We started today with a manicure !

 Mine is on the right... no duh!

I wish I had a photo of how Eva set out the dresses on the floor of their bedroom as if she could just slide into them, like flat stanley... the dress even had the sweater in place over the shoulders, the shoes had the socks neatly placed into them WITH the top rolled down... the head band AND bow were both laid out too... both options...I could just hear her, "I'll decide once I am dressed"... the purses were there too!   Naps were had by all!

THEN... it was time!   SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!...

As I look at this photo, I think, I should have looked at the tag to see that they got the correct dress.... Looks like Elizabeth is in the 6 and Eva is in the 5... oops!

I need a better picture of the shoes.... I mean the "high heels"... she'd be taller if she stood on her tip toes but who am I to tell her anything except... "Yes honey, you do look so much taller !"

  Eva was worried that daddy may have forgotten the "massages" ...  you know, the flower thing for the wrist!  "I will just wear the dried up one from last  year if he forgot"... that is priceless!  Of course, mommy...I mean daddy... did NOT forget the "massages" ! 

  "DH" looks so sweet with them... sporting his new PINK tie.  He didn't even question changing into the pink socks... He is good!    This is a big deal for him... if you go back a  year he was in the hospital after emergency back surgery and a blood clot... he couldn't take Eva last year, remember?  He looks darn good for "SIXTY".... yes, 60 years young!

Ok... well as they sit down for a yummy sushi dinner (girl's choice) with their friends, Mia and Madeline and their daddy's Scott and Shaun,  the moms are OUT OF HERE... we are going to dinner where NO ONE is allowed to ask to go to the bathroom, want their food cut up and I am NOT drinking apple juice.
