Brady and Bryson were challenged this week to go without any t.v., radio or computer (except for homework). It hasn't been too hard up until today. Bryson was forced to play outside then play games inside with a friend. Brady went longboarding. He was invited by some friends to go watch a video tonight, but chose to stay home. (He wasn't very happy about that.) We all wanted to watch a movie, but we couldn't, so instead we went for a walk then came home and had dinner. After dinner Brady read a book and Mark did taxes. The rest of us decided to mold Rice Crispies into some sort of sports theme. Lacie and I chose tennis and Bryson and Carston chose lacrosse. It was really fun!

I then started reading a book to them and they all fell asleep quite quickly. I think it was a good challenge and made us all think a little outside the box.
