My lovely wife works Wednesday evenings most weeks until 9pm. The children in our house go to bed at 8pm. On top of those to opening statements, Wednesday is the one day on the week that we never have anything on the calendar. This creates the perfect opportunity for the kids and I to have our special time to hang and be together with no distractions like computers, video games, and the like. So what has quickly become the tradition in our house is to order two walk-in specials from the local pizza place, buy 4L of chocolate milk, plop down on the couches in our living room and watch cartoons together. We watch the shows our PVR has caught during the past week which consists of: Batman the Brave and the Bold, Star Wars The Clone Wars, The Avengers, Scooby Doo Mystery Inc., Dragon Ball Z Kai, Total Drama World Tour.
It is a really fun time where I can push away the worries of the adult world, enjoy being a kid and really connect with mine at the same time. I think next week though I will steal a page from Iron Man and, when the pizza arrives, loudly declare Avengers errr. ... I mean .... Family Assemble!!!
Excelsior!!!
