Taking It Back To The Pioneer Days

Well, if you call sitting in a comfortable glider in a nice warm apartment with electricity and delishious food 'pioneer'.

Before Brylee, Cary and I had a very easy time turning off the tv and computer one time a week and just spending time together playing games. Bananagrams, Boggle, or Uno were our favorites. But now with Brylee here, it is a little more difficult to have a game night, and we find it so much easier just turning on the tv or getting lost in a computer game or the blog.

But this week, we decided to go back and enjoy each other's company again, sans modern technology (well, besides the light, heating and food stuff). We sat down last night in Brylee's room and read 2 chapters of Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. Chester even joined us with his favorite toys.

I am looking forward to this week of no tv or computer (though the exception is Tuesday so we can watch LOST). It will be a great way to get back to communicating better, and hopefully Brylee will learn the joys of not needing the tv to be entertained!
