Evenings

Lately, I’ve been trying to avoid aimlessly watching TV at night as a family. This has required us to get pretty creative in how we do use our time, but I’m enjoying spending better time with my family. Some of the things we’ve done include:

Building a toy city

Making sock puppets

Going on walks (which it’s getting cold and dark to do this much more)

There’s also dancing, reading, and playing games. (Hide and seek or tag for Peter. Sometimes Joe and I will break out the chess set. I might actually beat him one day). We also were able to go to my brother’s basketball game, and visit some family and play bored games.

What do you do for fun in the evenings that keeps you away from the TV?

    We’ve finally caught up with Psych, so we can’t watch that every night.

    Reading books is always great.

    And cooking and baking I like a lot.

    And just talking, too.

    Sometimes it’s good just to not be in the room with the television, I think. So good to a bedroom or kitchen or dining room instead.

    But I’m really bad at this, so I appreciate the post.
