Unplugged

The girls had minds of their own this weekend and it was wearing Gary and I out as parents. We decided that Sunday was going to be unplugged day at our house. We literally unplugged the television and the computers and told the girls that they were to entertain themselves on their own. They really don't watch much television but often like to catch a show here or there. It worked out very well. The girls played well together, we all took a family nap after Caroline's soccer practice and we all went to bed early. Not bad for a Sunday! The girls even took a bath that lasted for an hour. I definitely think it served it purpose. I think every once in a while it is good to uplug and enjoy each other's company and to rest. I don't think we as a family rest or enjoy downtime as much as we should. This morning everyone was well rested, in good mods, and ready to start off the week. Looking forward to college football this weekend as well as NFL (since I am in a fantasy football league now) and a day off to hang with the family.
