We did everything freedumb2003 did, plus, leave the refrigerator and freezer doors open; also turned turned on the oven to 500 degrees, then turned on the flashlights, - and let the children play with the garage door opener.
Oh... we started the celebration at eight o’clock instead of eight-thirty. Gee, it was fun. We’re gonna do it at least once a month.
