Spring Break: The Good and the Bad

Happy spring break! Our spring break started out really nice and relaxing. The kids and I made a deal that they could have screen time/video games before breakfast and after dinner, but during the day we were screen-free. That way, I have to actually be an engaged mom and not just lazy, we spend time together, and they (Craig especially) gets to do his favorite things and not feel punished.

Of course, this policy does mean the boys will wake up at 6 AM to play video games

and then be tired and want a nap later on.

All of this time without screens definitely means a trip to the library.

Although, yes, they have screens at the library.

And yes, I let them use the screens, even during our "screen-free" time.

They still get lots of books and read, too!
