TV-Free Activities for a Whole Week

Paula sent this in for the contest and I thought it was excellent. There's so much more to life than vegetating in front of an entertainment box! Here's what she said:

We actually have a week long of TV free activities (Sat is our only TV night)!!

Monday: Reading Night --- We all gather around and Daddy reads from a book while we do things like handiwork (sewing by hand, beading, etc.).

Tuesday: Family Fun/Date Night --- Sometimes we head out for putt-putt golf, or dress up and head out to a restaurant, or out to the backyard for some fun (you can buy so many backyard outdoor activities like soccer, volleyball, badminton, balls just for fun!).

Wednesday: Family Devotions/Church --- Sometimes we goto church, sometimes we stay home and have our own family devotions.

Thursday: Arts and Crafts/Hobbies night --- beading, sewing, woodworking, pom-poms, origami, scrapbooking, photography, painting, working with clay

Friday: Game Night --- we usually pull out a board/card game and play play PLAY! And then eat eat EAT! Sometimes we learn a new card game.

Saturday: Saturday Night Sundaes --- we pull out all the toppings and make our own ice cream and watch a DVD

Sunday: Family Night at church --- we attend service on Sunday evening.

Crystal, your blogsite is a real inspiration. You really do all those nice things each night? My DH and I gave up TV/DVD watching about 8 weeks ago (we've been playing a lot of Scabble! lol). We don't miss TV anymore. So now that we've reached our goal and broken the habit, we're allowing ourselves one movie or TV program each week (and are currently on the look out for good, clean and morally uplifing films). I like your families ideas for evening activities - very inspriational. Thank you!

Hi Crystal,
We had an ultrasound last night and found out that not only are we having a boy who is very healthy as far as they can see, but I'm due two weeks earlier than originally thought!!! It's amazing and wonderful. :-)
