Our kids, too, though they ask for more. Fortunately, as soon as we get them outside, they find other ways to entertain themselves, so the pestering doesn't last too long!Alison Pearce Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00955543150406880055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472336490065374318.post-1312651019605253192012-05-10T14:02:26.642-05:002012-05-10T14:02:26.642-05:00Hehe, YES!

Especially when it's sunny outside--best for kids. :) I personally don't watch that much TV, just 2-3 movies a week on Netflix.Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472336490065374318.post-31022321866274004132012-05-01T13:09:25.242-05:002012-05-01T13:09:25.242-05:00I think you're making a good point, and if I w...I think you're making a good point, and if I weren't making a mad dash to finish drafting my novel before school lets out for the summer, I'd turn off the computer, too. :)Alison Pearce Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00955543150406880055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472336490065374318.post-60217327014516700102012-05-01T13:08:32.887-05:002012-05-01T13:08:32.887-05:00Excellent! :)Excellent! :)Alison Pearce Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00955543150406880055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472336490065374318.post-40112655089120829012012-05-01T12:25:19.751-05:002012-05-01T12:25:19.751-05:00That's funny and totally true.

I am such a huge film fan with a huge and varied collection.<br /><br />But I think screen free week must also extend to the internet (even besides all the online movies/games/tv shows). Looking at a screen all day is pretty bad for your eyes, but still, here we all are!<br /><br />But the thought of turning the tv/computer off for a while to curl up with a good book is a fabulous one (and if I didn't have an article to edit today I would.) Anyway, I fear I'm rambling and not making much of a point at all.<br /><br />Make time to read, converse and experience life beyond the tv. That's all good stuff.Spanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893837904669368614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472336490065374318.post-31743911618006005622012-05-01T07:14:05.407-05:002012-05-01T07:14:05.407-05:00Yes!

We've done that before and she never seems to notice as long as we're doing something fun...hmm, I think a little gardening is in order today~ and maybe some picture book reading along with it :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.com
