Ben and I agreed we needed to implement something to set Saturdays apart. "What did we do as kids?" we asked ourselves. We realized what's missing: Saturday morning cartoons! (accompanied by a hot breakfast when possible) followed by Saturday chores.
The rule is we have to watch our "Saturday Show" on the couch as a family. We rotate as to who decides what cartoon to watch. A few weeks ago Ben chose a unexpectedly funny Coyote and Roadrunner episode. Last week Seth chose a few song clips from Sesame Street. And on my turn?: I picked the classic Bugs Bunny episode "Hair-raising Hare", below.
I'm loving the combination of laughing together and then getting to work and cleaning our house as a family. Huzzah for family traditions.
