I wasn't gone quite long enough to start missing them (only gone about 2 hours), especially after the day we had yesterday. I was truly at my wits end. But, it was really helpful just to have some quiet (you know, the kind that roars in your ears!) just to think about what I really want for our family and then to modify our (flexible) schedule accordingly. We'll see how it goes...
The plastic plates I use are actually the little sectioned plates that come in Lean Cuisine TV dinners (from my Wal.Mart days...ha!). I think they are #2 plastic, so i shouldn't have any trouble recycling them. I am enjoying your no tv experiment. I turned on a cartoon this afternoon, and I sat down with them, which I usually don't do. I couldn't believe the amount of advertising that is there! Good grief! Now I am even more motivated to turn it off, or only let them watch videos. I am glad to hear that it has been so successful for you. Very motivating.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your boys have really sweet faces! :) Thanks for sharing. :)
Nice to have a new visitor:-)
Yes, three little boys and one big-kid husband rule my life! But my mother-in-law lives with us, to make an effort at restoring balance.
I wanted a girl, but I gave up too:-)

Your boys are beautiful. I love close up shots like those.
Thanks so much for your kind words at my blog yesterday. It's nice to meet you!
