Instead of lazily sitting and watching TV while I made dinner (which was our normal routine) the kids had fun and used their creative imaginations tonight. They made a shoe train around the table, into the family room and back into the kitchen. They spent an hour building and having fun. The only upset words were when Maxwell would try to take shoes out of the train. He loves shoes, he thinks they mean "go go". And Max loves to 'go', anywhere. Sophie counted them and there were 136 individual shoes that came out of our mud room - from 6 cubbies and 1 box of shoes that are too small for my kids now. (how did we fit all of those shoes in there!!)What a fun night. The no TV watching is already a great success.Wednesday, September 10, 2008
That's what it's all about

We've gone to a "no TV, no computer-playing" rule during the school week. I love it! More peace and quiet and more productive play.
