Jon and Kate Plus 8

Does anyone watch "Jon and Kate Plus 8"?
The Gosselin Family; Jon, Kate, their 7 year old twins and 3 year old sextuplets, have their life chronicled through a weekly TV show. It is funny, poignant, and parents can relate to many of the events that go on!! Since they have 8 children, the last episodes have been devoted to taking each child out individually. They each got to pick somewhere they they wanted to go with mom and dad.
It reminded me of how important it is to spend one on one time with our kids. I do get to spend one on one time with Frankie, since Lizzy is in Kindergarten until 2:00 each day. Spending time with her alone is harder. We now have Friday night game night or TV night, where she stays up an hour later to spend time with me, or me and Dad! She has short Wednesdays every other Wednesday, so we try to have his nap as soon as she gets home, so we can have lunch and play, do crafts together. On the weekends, as well, John or I try to take her out alone at some point.
