This last week was screen free week at the school (not tv, videos, wii, etc) we managed to make it until Wed before I was asked if they could watch a movie (they asked again today) and what really surprised me, they NEVER asked for their D.S.'s once! I was sure that was going to be the hard one too. It helped a bit that my DH was out of town for four whole days and I couldn't care less about tv. In fact I really enjoyed the project and we did a lot of fun things. We took the marshmallow guns to the part via bikes for a picnic, saw the new penguin exhibit, played a bunch of board games. The kids even liked it so much they've decided we need a screen free day every week. We also found out last weekend that the skate park down the street allows bikes. We might have started a bad thing. We were there two hours last week, and two yesterday. Today I took them on a three hour ride along the Jordan River parkway (our first time and loved it) and once they got home they begged dad to take them to the skate park again (two more hours) and then they rode along the sidewalk when they got home. They have ridden for almost six straight hours today. Any bets on how long they'll sleep tonight???
