Kids Being Kids

This is turning out to be a great summer. We are doing all we can to get excited and involved. I have devised a plan of something to do at least 4 out of the 5 days in the week. We have some pretty exciting stuff coming up, but that's a whole different post.

Samantha and Zacory had a great time in Grandpa's backyard in this new jumper. I tell you, they are so spoiled! It seems like we didn't get anything fun growing up compared to what these guys have at their disposal: a jumper, airplane teeter-totter, basketball hoop, 4-wheeler vehicle. Man, I didn't get any of that stuff when I was a kid. I guess I'll just have to act like one all over again and enjoy everything along with my kids.


So you remember running in the sprinklers as a kid? We did all the time. We would even play hospital. One kid would get "hurt" and the ambulance (2 other kids) would come pick them up and drag them over to the hospital. We would treat the wound with mud and then they would wash it off in the sprinkler and it was the next kids turn to get hurt. Silly, huh? Well, here's an attempt at providing memories for my children. They were having a ball running around. It took Samantha a little while to get wet, but once she took the "plunge" there was not stopping her. I love to hear their laughter as they enjoy the simple things in this life.



Today we ventured to the District with Grandma and saw Kung Fu Panda. It was actually quite entertaining. I found it quite funny that after the show was over, I asked the kids to pose outside for a picture and they tried to imitate what they had just seen. It was priceless. We had a great time being in the cool show during the heat of the day. They need to keep these kid-friendly movies coming all summer, so we can do this more often. I have such great kids. I'm glad that they chose me as their mother. It has been a true joy to get to know them and what they have to bring to this world and family. I am truly blessed.
