No-TV Challenge

Devin and I had a "No-TV Week-Long Challenge" this past week. We wanted to see how different we would spend our time if we turned off the TV. Here are some of the things we did.

Made home-made dinners







painted our kitchen


hung pictures


organized the pantry


attended enrichment


hung out with family and their dogs


visited Owen and Abbie

Celebrated Brenda's birthday

Played a VERY FUN card game with Brad and Whitney

(Whitney gets mad at Brad when he's competitive)

Devin thought a whole week without TV was pretty tortuous, I thought it was amazing. We spent a lot better "quality time" together, accomplished things around the house, and had the Spirit in our home more (I know when Devin reads that part he'll say, "Oh boy." Love you Dev!).

Mona Lisa! Talk about indecent exposure.

I think we should ALL ban TV's and hang out EVERY DAY.

You are inspiring! I would rather read than watch TV any day, except for American Idol! I don't know how you got Devin to agree to it. You are amazing! And I love your kitchen!
