Reading for tv

We're trying to keep our boys from just watching tv all day here at the end of vacation. We've gone to having them bank tv minutes by either reading or playing outside. So far today they've cycled through reading for 15 minutes and watching for 15 minutes. It's funny because they both obviously enjoy their books but the retro spider-man series on hulu.com is too enticing. As usual Jesuschristmas is over and they'd rather watch tv than play with their new toys. Oh well. At least school starts again on Monday.
