So we tried something new for our family this weekend... We went mostly unplugged. I say mostly because we did make a few exceptions.... We had Family Movie Night Friday, but no phones, laptops, etc allowed. Hubby was allowed to check his work email 2 times a day, and phones were on for calls and texts but no surfing, facebooking etc. Kids were video game, computer, TV free when they were with us. They had one sleepover planned and we said the rules didn't apply there since we weren't the hosts. Also, we did keep our earlier plans to hit the $1 movie theater for The Lego Movie. Hubby was very leery at first...He could see an endless stretch of whining about boredom from all but esp Hulk. But we forged ahead..... and it went AWESOME!!!!! We spent a lot of great quality time together doing things. We built Legos as a family, & kids helped me cook meals. The three of them went outside and played for a few hours without making me referee..lol... We even got Daddy to the lake to swim. That was a miracle...lol. We spent Monday afternoon and evening having fun with family after attending our local Memorial Day Parade.
On a serious note: Thank You to all who serve, past present & future. For those who paid the ultimate price, and for those living with the after effects today. Thank you to the families that have made endless sacrifice to protect me and those I hold dear.
