update! well we're several days in and so far so good. The kids are doing really good! Having a hard time getting the 13yo off the computer though. That is always an issue though. I bought some cheap movies at biglots yesterday and the kids and I sat down last night and watched one. It was fun. I had been reading a book and planned on sitting there with them reading but ended up watching. We seem to have lots more time in the day and everyone is ready to go to bed earlier. Dh gets up at 4:30 am so going to bed earlier is a good thing around here. They're also reading more and spending more time outside and being creative. I said something about getting a converter box and they asked why...said we were fine without it. We'll be at the beach this week with the inlaws though and there will be tv so I'm sure they'll be watching!
