No iPad Day
With all of us spending too much free time on our iPads during the summer day, I decided to make today a "no iPad day." Yet here I am blogging so I don't know if that counts (I am on a computer so...). The girls aren't excited about it, but it's good for them. We've spent some time cleaning out our laundry room which has been inundated with shoes and seems to never be clean. The girls had multiple pairs they had outgrown so it was nice to rearrange and then put together a few bags that we can donate to a local charity organization.
They are actually playing TOGETHER in their rooms - which is huge because they typically are in their separate rooms on devices or sitting next to each other on the coach on their devices. While I do work to get them out and doing other things, as well as requiring reading/math/piano each day, there are still SO many hours of the day that are free. Which results in iPad or tv or gaming device time. This may become something more of a habit that we try to create each Friday. It's amazing how much time you really do have when you take away the time sucker that is the iPad.
