no TV this week

this week, the elementary school is asking all the children to take a break from TV - YAY!!! {this is part of their week long study about earth day and what we can do to help}

if u remember, i would LOVE to get rid of our TV's completely.....so, i'm very excited about this assignment! i learned a long time ago, that if the kids are not moving as fast as we'd like when getting ready for school/bed/etc, just turn off the TV & like magic *poof* everyone moves a little faster - imagine that?!

needless to say, the last 3 mornings of getting ready for school/daycare have run very smoothly - i was 20 minutes early to work today!!! and since the kids know this is a school assignment, mommy's not the bad guy this week! ~lol~

i have to admit, we've done really well lately with the nice weather anyway - the kids have headed outside to play in the evenings instead of asking to watch TV.....but even after it gets dark this week, we've been reading books & dancing to music & playing games together....it's been really nice!

cute pic of the girls watching some TV with daddy on monday eve, right before we got busy with homework & found out about this week's assignment - RIP TV (until next week, or maybe longer if i'm lucky!)
