Poll: Screen time during snow
Our morning went something like this:
6:30 a.m.: "Good morning, mom. May I go on Webkinz?"
7:00 a.m.: "May we watch a show?"
8:30 a.m.: Husband: "OK, kids, what are we going to do now that does NOT involve TV?"

We said no, then served lunch. But as the snow piles up outside, I know the clamoring for mindless entertainment will only grow louder. And typically, we limit the kids to a couple of hours of screen time on the weekends.
Considering all of the people in the area who don't have power, I'm thankful for this problem. Still, I wonder what the rest of you are doing about it as this snow event threatens to mean many days of kids stuck at home:
