My girls decided some time back that they wanted to do the 40 hour famine - we read up and at their age they are supposed to do just 8 hours. We talked about that and they decided that they wanted to give 24 ago.
We were happy to support them with that.
So last night at 6 they had their last dinner and we are less than an hour off breaking their fast now.
I'm so proud of them - I imagined there would be lots of complaining through the day as we are a big foodie family - and much of what we do involves preparing food and sharing food. But there has been nothing. Not a peep.
At about 12 o'clock today when we were out and about I felt they needed something so we stopped for some juice and barley sugars - they were hard to find must be lots of Gold Coast kids eating barley sugars I think!
Sofia yesterday at school made a pact with some friends to also stop speaking from lunch time - so I can just imagine what their class was like that afternoon! LOL - she kept it up until this morning when she just couldn't not tell me stuff she said. Too funny so we worked out she did 14 hours of no speaking too .
I'm guessing 40 hour famine will become part of our family tradtions now.
Did your house participate ? I know for most it doesn't end until tomorrow night so if you are still going good luck!
