well, some how we stopped television in the evenings for the last week and our house has been a different place...:D ds is still having to get counted, but not as often...I think its an age and stage thing with him...and the fact that he thinks hes friends at school get away with things, but we all know that they probably don't....:lol: they watch about an hour in the afternoon after school....PBS "Between the Lions" which I adore and "Arthur"...then they have been helping me set the table....after dinner they have been cleaning up with me...and then they retired up stairs to change into PJ's and read....play in thier rooms and just hang out....no television...its been great...both kids are talking to us about different things now...and when we can we take turns dd and dh in her room and visa versa...with ds....it has been a great experiement...we are loving it....just thought I would share, since TV has been a big part of our childrens exsistance....LOL...

That is great Renee!! :yippee: We need to do that more often. Ds has been wanting to watch more tv since we got satellite - you know all of these news shows he never saw before and now can't live without. :rolleyes: We actually do a lot of family stuff and I don't think he watches too much tv, but it's always more fun to actually do stuff together than to just have the tv on. :) Good for you guys!! :thumb:
