I grew up in a TV watching family so it will be hard, but it will be worth it!<BR/><BR/>Like some of the other ladies have said, there really isn't much of anything worth watching these days.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure your kids will remember the times you spent as a family than the times you spent watching TV.<BR/><BR/>I love your blog by the way! It's giving me great tips for when I do take the plunge and have a kiddo.The Ramblin' Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155064654217119972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-80180403998221971302007-07-17T18:48:00.000-04:002007-07-17T18:48:00.000-04:00Oh my!

This year we are doing August and September. Hang in there! Old habits are hard to break! I usually read aloud to the kids when their boredom is "killing" them. Even the olders appreciate it.

You will not regret this situation after the initial shock - give em a few days - dig out the legos!Rona Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716877121395292699noreply@blogger.com
