Who am I ?

I am a Mother of twin girls and everyday is a new adventure for my family. Between school, work, gymnastics, friends and a large family there is never a dull moment in our life. I thought I would share with anyone who would listen...enjoy!

What do your kids watch on TV?

Just admit it..your kids watch tv. Mine do. The tv is probably on more than it needs to be at our house. Sometimes, nobody is watching, but, it is on. I am finding out that what my kids watch is different than other kids. My kids are 6, 5, 3 and 22 mos. They watch PBS, Playhouse Disney and occasionally NickJr. NickJr is rare...I don't think they need to be watching all those commercials. No Cartoon Network, regular Nick or regular Disney. Now we are starting to find that our oldest is probably getting a little tired of these programs. But, what to watch? She loves stuff on HGTV and Food Network. She would like to watch more Disney & Nick, but my husband & I don't like think Hannah Montana, Zoey 101, Zach & Cody are really that great for a kid her age. Some of the humor she doesn't understand and when she watches it, all the kids want to watch it. My 3yr old certainly doesn't need to watch them and my 5yr old has no interest in them. But, there is nothing in between for a kid too old for Dora and too young for Hannah Montana.
So I'm wondering....what do your kids watch ( or kids you know) and how old are they?

Yes, my kids watch way too much TV. I find myself over stimulated by the end of the day, so I can only imagine how they feel. Gabriella insists we have the Tv on during dinner and I just can't stand it. We are trying to get her to stop, but, it's hard when the kitchen table is so close to the living room. It was blessing when they were smaller, but, not I really don't like it.

DVR!!!! We record Veggietales every Saturday so they are available whenever I need to put something on or my kids just put in a DVD. Other than that it is PBS, Boomerang, or Nick GAS(Games and Sports)
BTW, mine are 9, 7, 2.5, and 1.
