Sunday Morning - Picture of the Day - March 20th

Have kids? Want a quiet Sunday morning? Well I have a recipe that can buy you at least 20 or 30 minutes, sometimes even an hour!  If you don't have kids you are probably snickering and thinking 20 minutes, that's nothing!  For those of use with kids, especially little kids, we know how precious 20 minutes is.  Hell, a full hour break might as well be a vacation in the Bahamas!

So the recipe.  The first ingredient can vary a bit but the key is the length.  Today I used this...
 Don't fall in the trap of using a half hour show or a show with lots of commercials.  Sesame Street is great.  No commercials and an hour long, perfect!  But that's not all, you need another ingredient.  This next one is key. It anchors the kids down, gets them sitting and keeps them sitting for a bit.
After you combine these two its up to the kiddo gods to decide how long you have.  You're gonna get at least 20 minutes out of this but I've seen it go on for a full hour before.  My suggestion is grab a blanket and try to sleep on the couch but you can decide how you want to use those precious minutes.  Enjoy.
