Yesterday we were all sitting around. The weekends for me are a bit annoying (when I'm in THAT mood) because our default is for everyone one to be off doing their own thing. Alan in the bedroom relaxing and recovering from a long work week, Zach on the computer playing Minecraft, Alissa watching TV and myself on the computer or phone. yes, we are THAT family and rather than do something about it, I let it be. But yesterday I decided that a relaxing TV and computer day would be okay IF we did some others things too (baby steps right?). So I told the kids to turn their stuff off and I asked Zach if he wanted to do a Lego Challenge with me. I found the idea on Pinterest of 51 challenges and had him choose a number from 1-51. He chose one and it was "A Christmas scene" and we got to work. We made our living room on Christmas morning with Santa flying away! It was pretty fun to get creative and break up the day from the electronics.

That's such a great idea! I'm sure the memories from that experience will last a lot longer than playing his video game!
