ramblings and what nots

I get amazed at how people with blogs can update almost daily. Luckily they are stories I want to read. Many are from families that have adopted or have Large families and they talk about the highs and lows of parenting.

I feel like I don't post enough but then there is not that many exciting things but ramblings of our daily lifes. We just past Labor Day and we had a football game unfortunately we lost. Brandon and Josh did very well for the rest of the day without fighting and playing well together. Sunday Don and I shopped and the kids got to go bowling with the babysitter.

I have notice that during the week I have to say "no" to Wii and DS, Computer and TV for the kids to be able to be polite and working on their homework. They get along better and find old toys to play with. It is completely amazing. They feel like their world is coming to an end without the video but actually they are clear minded and more thoughtful and aware of their surroundings. However, I do miss the babysitter (Wii, TV or Computer) so I can get dinner ready, do some of my things etc. but I think the trade off is better.

Good for you for "unplugging" during the week! That is so fascinating how their attitude and behavior change without internet, etc.
