Day One No TV - Tricks & Treats

Well, we started day one strong! We played outside until dusk, had great conversation around the dinner table and as a group activity we decided to make a treat together. Rice Krispy treats seemed like the perfect end to our TV free day, so we grabbed the marshmallows, cereal and butter and made our favorite gluten free family treat.

Now, being that this is April and not October, I wasn't on the look out for the trick just the treat. As you can see, Kamayah got a hold of a few rogue marshmallows and gave us all a really good belly laugh.

After we ate most of the treats (No TV Week may have an adverse effect on our midsections), and tucked the kids into bed, the hubby and I settled in for the night and had some great conversation before drifting off to sleep (much earlier than we would have if we were watching TV).

Now for tomorrow and the real test...missing Lost. De'Vaughn and I are both big fans of the show and we have never missed an episode. I think my internal clock is synchronized with the ABC network on Tuesday nights. When 9:00 rolls around, no matter where I am, I can hear the Lost opening theme music.... no, really. We will have to plan some distracting activities to help fight the urge to grab the remote.

Until tomorrow...
