Less Distractions!

Okay blogging about this might be an oxy-moron but oh well. Brandon and I set a goal this week to not watch any TV. It is rarely on during the day but at night, after Talmage is asleep, we usually plop down on the couch, tired and worn out and "zone out" as we like to call it. Well, not watching TV has been wonderful!!! We FINALLY puttied and sanded our 2ND bathroom upstairs to get it ready for paint. We mowed, weed whacked, and weeded the yard and garden. We played Scrabble, just the two of us. We read books together. We even ate snow cones on the front porch. Even though with the TV on we are technically together, this week we have realized that there is so much more to life. We have so much fun working, playing, and relaxing (productively) together. I don't know if I'll ever be okay watching TV in the evenings again.
