Hello friends and family, We greet you from the glorious month of May. Where does the time go? Anywho not alot has happened that's cool, really just the "same ol' same ol' ". We did get our garden space tilled in yesterday. I t should be ready to plant in a week or so. We are trying a new method to reduce competition from weeds. What you do is let the first flush of weeds sprout and the gently scuff the soil to remove them, being careful to not disturb the soil too much. Then the following weed growth will be significantly reduced. Our plot is 15'x 45' . We will be doing all kinds of veggies, including an Artichoke this year. I am soo excited.
Well television has been weighing alot on my mind lately. Here is a Link to some data complied on TV viewing. PLEASE read it. Americans watch 6hours and 47min a day, cumulatively 250 BILLION hours of television a year. 54% of children would rather watch TV than play with their dad. :(
I think that TV is tool that Satan uses to misguide us from what we should be doing. I think maybe that is one reason why we have heard so much of talk of "Good, Better, Best" .(in the church) I know that there is nothing wrong with TV, but what better things could we be doing?
As a family we have decided to find out. Yesterday we donated our television to charity, and we will go 6 months without watching TV. Instead we will play games, read books, have conversations, exercise, go to bed early, basically really weird stuff! But what fun it could be. I would encourage you to find out also.
What would YOU do with 6hours and 47min a day more?"
Side note: Henry is now on day 14 of no accidents, Yippee!
On another side note: Unfortunately everybody in the house besides me is sick today. 3 barfing people in the same house is hard to deal with. I can't really think of anything else to write about so, till next time>> Adios mis amigos.

That link has some really scary information. It is amazing how many parents use that for babysitting and convience for them and how it is causing more problems than not. We also are going to go without tv for the summer months so that we can enjoy the great outdoors.
