No more TV in our house

Yip- you heard right no more tv. Why? Because Andrew has decided that if Ben10 is not on- it's not worth watching. LOL It's great. Who would have thought that a cartoon character would bring about such change in a household? Andrew doesn't even want to watch Boomerang TV or Cbeebies. Pure Bliss I tell ya. Ocasionally he will ask for a Asterix and Obelix DVD or Tintin, which is fine-as both of those have got quite good stories. Carmen is not interested in Tintin- I think the stories are a bit too involved for her- so she and I will end up playing Barbie or doll- with Andrew telling me what is happening in the movie.

It's wonderfull for me and Pierre because now whe get to watch VH1- the music channel- and play our favourite game- guess the tune and artist- before they put it on the screen. To much laughter and "yes I still got it". LOL

If you dont have a little boy between the ages of say 4 and 8- click on the link- to find out about Ben10.

I think if I meet Man of action in person one day- I will give him a great big kiss. LOL

I Forgot

to mention the most important thing about our weekend away. There was no TV. None. Nothing. Much to the kids amazament. And they survived. Amazingly. Well.
They discovered each other again, and played so nicely together. When we came back we decided our TV is "broken". Apart from switching it on this morning - I cant do mornings with kids clamouring for attention and me not having had my first cup of coffee yet. We haven't switched it on at all in the evenining- except when they go to sleep. So far Carmen has a blue eye and Andrew has another knock on the head. But it seems to do them good. So lets hope it lasts
