Earth Hour

This past weekend was Earth Hour, where everyone was suppose to turn off their lights for an hour.

We decided to use our powerless hour playing a board game. The boys chose Monopoly.

I learned a couple of things during that bit of quality time with my boys.

1. Luke and Henry are, in fact, old enough to hold their own at fun games like Monopoly.


2. Everything is more fun in the dark. (don't be dirty!)


3. Lucas is amazing at doing math in his head--he always has been, but it still amazes me!


4. Ben is completely ruthless when it comes to Monopoly.


5. He also, apparently, can't see very well in the dark.

Ben's lack of eyesight did not, however, stop him from completely bankrupting me an hour and a half into the game!
