Tech Free Weekend

Greg and I decided to go technology free this past weekend! Friday night we turned off/unplugged the computer, TV, phones and radio! Not because we were protesting or have anything against technology, but because it felt like a good idea!
So what does one do when they decide to go "tech free"?!
Well. When TV, phone, radio, and computer are not an option it gives you a lot of time to spend with your awesome family!!
Greg has been working with Isaac on riding his bike without training wheels, well. Mission accomplished



We also made "Buchanan family spiders"!
Greg got this idea from someone at work and decided it would make a cute addition to our Halloween decorations!

They are sooo cute I can't take it!


We had so much fun this weekend as a family! Greg and I try to find stuff to do as a family every weekend but this weekend was packed full of family fun time!  Saturday we went out to breakfast, played at the park, took the boys to ride bikes in our church parking lot, got the house and yard work done. Sunday wasn't a whole lot different than any other Sunday, we went to church came home, had dinner, made our family of spiders, hung out .... typical Sunday .... except for the spider thing, we don't do that every Sunday.  The biggest difference we could tell was, because we didn't watch TV everyone was in bed by 830! So we got a lot of sleep at night. It was a great weekend and we will go tech free again, just not sure when. I recommend at least trying it! It's amazing how much closer you feel as a family when you unplug your self!
