Time In!

My youngest son got in trouble on Friday.  My oldest son was gone to his cousin's and my daughter and I went to the grocery, leaving him home.  When we came back, we found him on my oldest son's computer playing a video game.  Now it wasn't an unapproved game or anything, but it also was not screen time.  He expected to lose the equivalent amount of screen time that evening, but I threw him a curve and gave him a month of Time In, which basically means that he's lost his home alone privileges and now has to go everywhere I do, no matter how boring, for a month.  He also can't take his Nintendo DS anywhere we go because it's grounded too (although, really, it wasn't doing anything wrong :-P).  This has been interesting so far as he's had to go chauffeuring with me several times for the older kids and he's starting to realize just how much of that I do.  It's going to be a long month for him as his sister and I have planned some trips to fabric stores and craft stores.  :-)
