Another Reason to Procreate
Holy crap, could the weather get any more beautiful? Today was just ridiculously wonderful and "autumny".
One of the really nice things about having kids, it's a great excuse to go outside and play. I highly recommend it. We blew bubbles for hours. We played ring-a-round-the-rosy. We hollered for the goats in our neighbors pasture. We identified and avoided dog poo. We toted big sticks around for no apparant reason. We played kickball, in the loosest sense of the term. We climbed a tree.
Now, if I'd attempted to do this without the short people, I would've looked a tad foolish, maybe even creepy. Kids are the key to all things fun for an adult. Chuck.E.Cheese. Legos. Trampolines. Spongebob Squarepants. Etch-a-sketches. Hulahoops. McDonald's Ball Pits. Leaf piles.
Happy Fall, everybody. Grab a kid and go enjoy it.

Happy fall to you too!

Posted by: Jeannette at September 30, 2003 10:52 AMUmmm...can I borrow your kids?
Posted by: Christin at September 30, 2003 11:11 AMSure, Christin. I've set up a "Loan Your Kid" program especially for days like this. I'll send you the necessary application. It takes a few days to process though.

Candice loves them and said to tell you that she thinks the both of you should know that you encourage her. She also wants permission to visit at your home, Shannon, when we move down to Lafayette.

Posted by: SonofThunder at September 30, 2003 01:31 PMShe's more than welcome! Lafayette isn't that far away. I don't know if I'm as fun in person though, sadly enough.
