The three most frequently asked questions at my house:
1) Can I watch TV?
2) Can I play the computer?
3) Can we watch a movie in the car?
So...to avoid having to answer these questions more than 20 times a day we are making TV & computer rules. Right now that's one hour of TV and 30 minutes of computer a day, and no movies on car rides around town. But we will also be compiling a list of things to do besides the above 3 activities...Stay posted for our upcoming summer adventures...

I promise there is one inside the jar. We found our new friends on a thistle plant outside the house. We're hoping that we might actually have a few chrysalis' in a few days. I'm going to have to do some research with Sadie and see how long that takes.

I'm right there with you! I can't wait for you creative ideas. I'm coming out July 1st through about the 11th. Wouldn't it be fun to go to Thanksgiving point, a children's museum, or ANYTHING. Finally I have a litte more time & it would be so fun to go on a little excursion while we are in town. Take care, Megan
I'm glad my kids aren't the only ones asking those questions over and over! I like your time limits, but how do you keep siblings from watching along and then claiming they didn't get "their" time? That's an issue we are dealing with. My response is if you are in the room, it counts as your time, but I still get complaints on that one. And all bets are off when there is a babysitter (babysitters have it so much easier than we did!). I like your approach to what you'll do instead; I'm sure those are the memories they'll remember from the summer, not the tv shows. :)Amy
