This week has been cold and
windy, lows dropped into the negatives and wind made the week very bitter.
Jayden has been bored in the afternoons and spends too much time on her iphone.
The electronics are getting the best of us. They make me so upset. The boys beg
to play the XBOX and computer or apps. I just can't seem to keep the kids occupied enough without craving to be on the electronics. I started a weekly schedule and so far 2
weeks in, it is working. Each night of the week we have a designated nightly
activity to replace the electronics and tv every night of the week. Mondays we
all find a book and everyone reads, tv off. Tuesday is movie night. Wednesday I
am in Ames all evening with Jayden and Luke for church activities and Mark and
Jake have a night together. Jake always has lots of game time and tv. Thursday is family devotion night. Friday is game night, preferably board games, and the weekend is
free. Even with a schedule the kids manage to get in extra electronic time. These iphones and ipods have to be a design of the devil himself! They have a way of sucking out all your free time, they are a distraction, and highly addictive. I know satan just loves them. Just another one of his tools to pull people farther away from God and deeper into sin.
