My mom thinks I'm weird.
This in itself is nothing new, but I think even she is surprised that we took out our tv.
You would think I announced that we were going back to the land to raise sheep, grow our own food, spin our own yarn to make our own clothes, all without power, water, or plumbing.
Mom, we're not Amish.
And this isn't "Extreme Makeover--Old Sturbridge Village Edition."
We're just trying to make tv less central to our daily lives.
And, for the record, we are upstairs doing rest time with "Fireman Sam" on tv, because, of course, there is value in many kinds of shows, kids and otherwise. And some watching is okay. Especially when the kids are so obviously exhausted as they are today, after a full morning of school and a "First Day of Fall" picnic and hopscotch tournament in our yard afterwards.
Don't worry, we're not crazy. Yet.
Though, we do talk about homeschooling, or actually, "unschooling" a lot. All the good granola liberals up here do it
(That'll get her!)
