We did it it. We finally limited our kids T.V. watching and have been sticking to it. I used to let them watch T.V. for 2 hours a day. Two hours slowly crept to three hours and we went down hill from there. It is so hard to limit (especially the Wii), because it keeps them busy on sometimes boring days. Especially since I usually have one boy home in the morning (with McKay and me), and one in the afternoon. That makes for some bored boys. Well, there are a lot of reasons that we finally cut them off from T.V. none of which they agree with :) So now they each have 1 hour of screen time a day. So many good things have come from it all ready. The boys are using their imaginations again, they are playing games with each other, doing crafts, coloring, play dough, etc. etc. It has been wonderful!
One windy day I had to bring the sleds in so they wouldn't blow away. Hunter lined them up and used them as a track. It kept him occupied for a long time and it kept McKay totally entertained. 
McKay LOVES to open and close the drawer. I can't keep him out of it. I am so worried that it is going to smash his little fingers. He is so intrigued by it. 
Hunter's imagination is so wonderful and I am grateful that he is now USING it! It is tough, but I am going to keep enforcing our new 1 hour policy.
