Technology ... you can't live with it but you can't live without it ... right?!
You love to hate it!
The background noise of Ninja Turtles, Adventure Time and Kids Halloween Songs from YouTube seem to have been ever growing in the past few weeks and the incecent chaos that it seems to bring was making me wonder if we didn't need to slow down on the tv time that was over taking our house hold.
I would say our family watches as much tv as the next family ... maybe a little less.
We watch for an hour in the morning while getting ready for the day, then maybe a show after school and after the baby goes to sleep for the night we might watch a family show together.
But for some reason the amount of tv time has been slowly growing over the last few weeks.
We have had the tv on for school the last couple weeks while we studied early humans and dinosaurs .. check out a great BBC video (BBC Walking with Cavemen)
Maybe this extra noise has led to my acclimation .. and because of that I wasn't aware of the encroachment on lunch time and quit time and dinner time. Ugh, the tv seemed to be on all the time.
Well ...
Someone or something noticed ... because Max broke our tv tonight (cracked it down the middle) ..
sad face ..
I wasn't even mad ... it was so cliche .. the WII remote came out of his hands and hit the tv.
We were family bowling ... eating super great bowling nachos (Super Nachos)
Frame 8, a greasy hand and a WII remote just don't go hand in hand (no pun intended LOL)
How can you be mad ...
He was so upset with himself ..
So, we figured out a solution and in the meantime we will be having fun and using our now "free of tv" time to play and post lots of fun recycled STEM activities and games!!
