So last week I announced No Media Mondays! No computer. No hand held games. No Wii. No TV. It's a beautiful thing. (Although now I'm wondering why I choose to start this just before Matt leaves, but oh well.) Today was our first day. Payton begged for media from the time we left school until the time I told him that if he couldn't handle not asking anymore I would remove all media for tomorrow too. That worked.
When we got home from school, the boys each found a project to start. Payton found some fun activities to do in his bible and Maxwell tagged along and found something similar to do. I cooked dinner in peace with only the radio on. It was a beautiful thing.
I look forward to more No Media Mondays! That is until school lets out in June...

It sounds like a winner to me
good for you! we do this, too. actually, it's harder in the winter than the summer - they can go outside all day in the summer.
I think it's a great idea! I have been talking to Jason about wanting to do that for 2+ days a week; although, I suppose it's much easier to implement without kids. Stick with it, it'll pay off in the long-run!
