Our week of no TV/no screen time has ended. The kids really didn't mind it at all! Emily never once complained and the only thing that Ana would say (daily) is, "Mommy, what can I do now?"
Day 1-Monday-We read books in the evening, then got jammies on and read more books in mommy and daddy's bed and fell asleep early--did I say early? Yes, that was about 8:30pm.
Day 2- Tuesday-We sorted out 2 of Emily's dresser drawers and hung up clothes in her closet.
Day 3-Wednesday-Came home from school, practiced piano, then it was off to choir practice.
Day 4-Thursday-Hung up more clothes in Ana's closet, and sorted out more clothes that didn't fit and bagged them up to donate.
Day 5-Friday-We saw High School Musical at Anoka High School and it was awesome!
Day 6-Saturday-No cartoons this Saturday morning...instead, their cousin James came over and played with us. Oh, did I mention that it SNOWED?!? UGH! But instead we played inside and just had a good time! Although, we did have the TV on for a little bit while James was trying to fall asleep, but that was OK by me.
Day 7-Sunday-The kids woke up and said, "We can turn on the TV now!" Actually, they only watched a little bit of TV, then it was off to church (where they discussed what they did in their spare time) and then it was off to a cousin's Confirmation Party, then they came home and CLEANED THE HOUSE! They are the best little helpers there ever was! They fought over who was going to vacuum, dust and mop the floors! It was awesome! :-)
It was a great week! Tad and I might even cancel our cable to save a few extra dollars...that is if we can still keep the basic cable and our DVR! Sometimes we wonder how we could ever survive w/o it!
