My kids are young My son MD is 7 and Gigi will be 4 this Sunday (January 24, 2009). They grew up with unlimited TV

We live in MN so its usually too cold in the winter to be playing outside. We had a strech of day this winter where the temperature never made above 0 degrees and that is in Farenheit!! Then it got warmer about 30 degrees and my husband took Gigi to go do chores in the evening in our Dairy Farm

She was so happy. She came in saying that chores are her favorite thing in the whole world. She spends up to 8 hours a day in the Summer doing chores with her dad. She will drop TV anytime for going outside and doing chores, or playing.

TV has no hold on her. She is watching a lot today. Its icky outside and I have been on the computer a lot, plus she got 3 DVD's from the library yesterday.

Here she is right after she turned two, giving hay to the cows.

"I need to keep a video of how stupid you all look at this age." Kids, by kids, in the hallway outside the teen dance at the Live and Learn conference in St. Louis in 2005. It might not be the best example of behavior, but in its defense, there are a lot of kids there who have grown up to be adults now, and it's fun to see them five years ago. Also the video was put up as an apology for an incident (there's a note at the end). Not many kids would apologize that way. It was sweet.

Contains Trevor, Jack, Connor, Spencer, Jared, Jessica, Holly; Trevor is filming when Connor isn't; Quacie, Sierra, Shane; Marty (suspenders and camo shirt); Alyssa, McKinley, Sierra; Kirby, Rosie, Abi (coming up the hall); Beth, Quinn, Alyssa, Zena. There are three or four unidentified yet, and the name spellings could probably use correction. Please send notes to Sandra@SandraDodd.com
