Ok so there are a few other little things I like to do to make sure my electricity-free or electricity-lite environment is still pleasant.
1.  Buy a cooked ham.  Can sit out on the table for munching for long periods of time.
2.  New things for the kids to do.  I get stuff on clearance - kits, supplies, raw materials - and save it for summer and if we didn't use it for summer we have a hurricane box to raid.  This time I got and oversized coloring book that had 3 even larger posters inside.  Then new "eraseable" crayons.  Fun!
3.  Eating by candlelight is fun.  Make it a treat. 
4.  Buy munchies you don't usually spring for.  I got some Pepperidge Farm assorted cookies and some snack mixes that sure brighten up a dark day!
5.  Crank flashlight/radio for music.
We also had the bonus of having friends over who brought a kitten.  Instant entertainment in that!!
