An hour a day?

Have you ever seen these commercials:





I think it's pretty sad when they have to make a commercial reminding parents to encourage kids to get out and play an hour a day. I think the thing I remember most about my early childhood is playing outside all the time. By the end of the day, we smelled like dirt. We spent most of our time outside--we were so creative with the games we played. This of course was before video games came into play.

Now, with video games available at their fingertips, who wants to play anymore?

Well, this commercial has motivated me to be more health conscious with my kids. That would explain my dragging them out to the rec with me when I go. Now we just need to work on the eating part. My older two -- they can't seem to drink anything without sugar. I guess you can say we are making some progress because we cut carbonation out. My theory is that if I can help them be more health conscious now, we (or they) can avoid some of the health problems later in life.

I know don't laugh, but I think I'm going through some kind of phase. I'm almost tempted to go green. I've been into the whole recycling thing lately and thinking about getting a second recycling can because A LOT of stuff can be recycled. Stay posted...at the rate I'm going, next thing you know I'm going to turn into a vegetarian. Hahahaha! LOL. I doubt it, but you never know, right?
