With so much extra time on our hands, our family has been making an effort each evening to do something that requires the kids to put down their phones and do something with family. We've played board games, card games, and wii games, we've taken walks, and we've watched movies and TV. The watching TV games are not my favorite nights, because I don't necessarily enjoy us sitting around and staring at a screen, but sometimes laughter is much needed, and it is always good for the soul.
While movies are great, sometimes I'm not interested in a commitment of a couple of hours, and that is when TV shows are the best choice. We've gone through all of the series our family loves, so sometimes we watch a disc again just to avoid the commercials on TV (they are all being shown in syndication right now). However, a couple of years ago, during a White Elephant Christmas exchange Andrew received the first season of "Greatest American Hero". Last week when we were having pizza for dinner, I mentioned it might be a good time to check it out. I watched it as a child, but I was young and don't really remember specifics. We've put it in, and we've so enjoyed watching an episode on a couple of evenings! The technology, of course, is not awesome, but that just adds to it! These episodes are nearly 40 years old, but they are bringing entertainment to us even now!
