Several weeks ago when church changed from
8 a.m. on Sunday morning to
Noon on Sunday...
well, let's just say I had an epiphany!!!
After yelling at the children all morning to get dressed, brush teeth, brush hair, shower, bathe...you know the normal
getting ready activities...
and NOBODY doing anything but
watching Television,
playing video games,
playing on the computer...video games,
playing Nintendo DS....video games,
or Leap Frog...supposed educational games...
I pretty much HAD it!
We have become a TECHNOLOGY brain infused society...
and I wanted our life back!
So Sunday mornings have become...
"Technology FREE home zone!"
No one was more surprised than me...
that in doing so,
we got ready on time,
we had more peace and quiet,
and we were ready and in the right frame of mind for church!
AWWWW....life is good.
And funny thing is, Christopher noticed enough to run and
grab the camera to take this picture!

Great Plan! Stick to it every week!!
wonderful plan!!!Love it!
We have the same rule...after I was doing the same thing as you. Except all Sunday is technology free, unless they are writing an e-mail to missionaries or updating their blogs, which I consider journaling. It is as amazing as you describe! I just wish we could declare every day technology free!
WOW! What a great testimony of the church that a 13 year old boy can recognize the spirit in your house! I hope we can be as great of parents that our kids will learn to recognize it in our home.
