Chocolate Covered Mint Patties

This week is a no TV week in our home. I know, I’m totally mean. BUT, sometimes it’s nice to just kind of detach and remind the boys that they have LOTS of toys to play with. Plus, the weather has been beautiful – far too nice to miss while watching TV.

Of course, no TV means I need to be on top of my game. I have to be hands on all afternoon – no breaks. It’s harder than it sounds 🙂 Actually, these weeks are my favorites. I’m “forced” into being more active with the boys and getting them involved with my routine.

The boys have always loved helping in the kitchen. Some days that’s great…others, not so much. I figured out a meal plan for the week in advance and incorporated some recipes that I knew they could help with.

    Hi, sweets!! NO TV?!?! You, you, you wonderful mom you!!! I couldn’t do it. NO way. It’s -10 degrees… the TV is the only thing that will save them from my wrath. hahaha

    These are incredibly beautiful and I’m sure they are also addictive!!

    Well, that sounds like a great plan… for both my boys. My teen would probably drive me insane, or just go down to the river and fish. Then the 7 yr old would think I’ve totally deprived him! But, my youngest loves to be in the kitchen with me, too. Love these chocolate goodies… so pretty, too!

    I think that’s great that you turned the TV off! I think it actually releases some tension in the home when you do that!! I love that your boys like to help in the kitchen. I think cooking together brings families closer. Yummy looking mints! Perfect for st. patty’s day. 🙂

      It really does Renee. They get mad at me for a little bit but soon forget about it and just play or hang out with me. Thank you!

    Trish – it is so refreshing to hear that other moms limit screen time! You aren’t mean at all! (And if you are – then so am I! Lol!) I think it’s important that my kiddos find other things to do, as well – to be creative, to play together, to be reminded that life exists beyond the glow of a screen!
    My kids love peppermint, too – what a super fun activity to do together! Oh – and yours all look totally perfect! 🙂

    It is much harder for the parents when there’s no tv or video games for the kids — you’re so right! I think it’s great you did that, and incorporated a way for the kids to help you. What fun, and what delicious treats! I grew up loving junior mints, so I know I would love these!
