Regrouping


Despite the overwhelming tiredness from being at camp all weekend, I am definitely feeling better in the pregnancy department.  

There are still times of nausea, and fatigue, but I at least feel like I can get up off the couch and get a few thing done around the house and with the little people.  

It's time to regroup.  

Today's focus is detoxing the kiddos from the tv, that has become to central a figure in their lives over the last few weeks, when mom wasn't willing/able to do little more that take up space.   I'm sure there will still be moments of cartoons and tv watching for the kiddos, but I am definitely wanting to cut back on the amount.  

They were allowed to watch a Dora this morning as they woke up, then the tv was turned off for the day.    


It's been a nice peaceful morning, with thankfully little whining.  

After Tilly's school time this morning, they formed the family band and have been taking turns playing the trumpet, recorder, tambourine, and drums (did I say peaceful earlier ;) They have been playing together and enjoying the down time after the craziness of camp.   They have been outside enjoying the much needed cooler weather.  They are using their brains instead of zoning out in front of the box, it's nice to see!!  


What are your strategies for keeping the tv off?
