Yesterday was a pretty good day. Not-So-Crafty Daddy stayed home to take the boys on a homeschoolers field trip. They went to the Audubon Society for a homeschool program about the Abenaki. It sounds like they had a good time. There were a couple of boys they know there and they got to use the atlatl!
I got to go to the library – by my self! It was great. Even the youth librarian was surprised to not see a troupe of antsy boys trailing behind me.
After the library, I walked downtown to Church Street, the pedestrian mall, and window shopped. I was actually looking for a winter coat, but they were all too trendy and fur-lined-hooded for my taste.
In the afternoon, Big D was being kind of annoying, so I told him what I thought he was doing. He thinks if he annoys us enough, we will decide he needs a TV to keep himself busy. He admitted it.
We informed him it is the opposite – the fact that he can’t behave appropriately without a TV there to hypnotize him reinforces our opinion that he was watching too much TV and will cause us to not buy another one.
He got it.
The only complaint I have so far is that in the morning, which is my blogging and news reading time, they are noisy and rowdy because they can’t watch TV. I picked up a book on CD a the library yesterday and I am going to try that out.
