The REAL Reason I Let My Kids Watch T.V.

I can sit here and ramble off a long list of educational reasons, Mommy needs to clean reasons or I just want my kids to sit quietly reasons. But those are not the real reasons. Let me show you visually why I let my kids watch t.v.!

Reason #1:

That, my dear friends is no other than Sportacus from Lazy Town, played by Magnús Scheving. He's a super healthy Super Hero who never stops moving, he helps kids to eat healthy and exercise. And he is yummy!!! 

Reason #2:

How could I NOT love Steve Burns from Blue's Clues?! C'MON!!!! Forget whatshisface, I'm TEAM STEVE!!! He's so hot!!! :)

Reason #3:

Thank you Imagination Movers for bringing Rich Collins to us SAHMs. We really appreciate it. And can I just say how much I love the way he twirls those drum sticks of his? Hubba hubba!!!

Reason #4 

Now, this is Mike Messer. Mike is in a band called Dirty Sock Funtime Band that Noggin' features from time to time. The song is catchy, my kids love it and I get to look at his gorgeous face the entire 2 minutes or so. It's a win win situation!! He is...gorgeous!! He kinda reminds me of a hipper version of Adrien Brody. Mmmmmm......Adrien Brody. -drools-

So there ya have it, the real reasons I let my kids watch t.v.! I could have lied and said something about education, but really now, where's the fun in that?!

Kids & T.V.

How do Moms who don't let their kids watch t.v. do it? If I didn't let my kids watch Spongebob or Yo Gabba Gabba I wouldn't get squat done around this house. SERIOUSLY! I couldn't blog, tweet, clean, shower...NOTHING!! Nothing at all. My kids are so into playing with me that I can't walk out of the room without them following me. They do play quietly together when it's playtime. I turn the t.v. off to force them to play with the million dollars worth of toys we have bought them over the years. When I can't take it anymore and need to get things done I turn on the tube. My son is now at that age where he wants to "help" clean and it kind of annoys me. Is that bad? Yeah, probably. I just hand him a rag and let him use his spray bottle to wipe things down with. Then I point out that the t.v. is on in hopes that he'll stop following me. :D MOM OF THE YEAR!! LOL!!

But seriously. How do they do it? If my kids weren't glued to the t.v. like Zombies I'd get nothing done. Just look at them.....

GLUED!!! So I would like to thank whoever it was that invented the television. Thank you. My house is clean and I'm sane thanks to you. :D
