(say, once a week) - is that an option for you? I enjoy watching things that aren't made in hollywood.. and the internet is the perfect medium for 'small people' to broadcast something that would never make it on TV.<br /><br />Greetings from the netherlands!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021892170202864510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039001283075444498.post-47316151676370016212010-01-08T09:02:34.291-06:002010-01-08T09:02:34.291-06:00I'd love to turn the TV off for a while but my...I'd love to turn the TV off for a while but my husband would never go for it. Good for you guys!<br /><br />My boy has the coordination of a not-quite two-year-old, but I'll make him try to imitate me as we do jumping jacks, "Head & Shoulders," the "Hokey Pokey," or anything that burns off some energy, like chasing him and tickling him.<br /><br />It doesn't always take care of the energy, but a different approach always helps me handle it with a better mood.<br /><br />Is there a game you can have them do while you shower? Like send them on a treasure hunt with pictures of stuff in the house? It would take some preparation the night before, though.<br /><br />If having company in misery makes you feel better, our remodel has confined us to one room on the main floor, so weekends get VERY long for us and I totally relate to the need to expend some of that boy energy!<br /><br />Hope you survive until your husband gets home!<br />(and I didn't mean to write a novel...)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248110332983654221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039001283075444498.post-13218418667920814142010-01-07T16:36:42.894-06:002010-01-07T16:36:42.894-06:00Awww, I see how tough that would be!
