No TV = ug.

So over the last week, Henry was participating in this school program where we don't watch TV for a week. At the end of it, he gets a certificate.

Whereas he's been overall really good about it, his little brother (5) has literally been bouncing off the walls. Over the last week I have discovered that "family time" lasts about 2 hours (at the VERY most) before decending into total chaos. Don't get me wrong, it is not all bad (had some fun times together), but a whole week of it is a bit much. Say what you will about TV, but, as a parent, that half hour they're still & quiet during Ben 10 really does wonders for my sanity.
