But I just leave them watching TV and stripping the contents of the fridge and go to bed LOL.Clare Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392142798976142547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-83894678787294479232015-06-16T09:36:28.419-07:002015-06-16T09:36:28.419-07:00"10 steps ahead of me" - yes, that sound..."10 steps ahead of me" - yes, that sounds about right! LOL. And with several (I know you have a handful of kids, too), they can surround me like velociraptors for a group attack. And they're eating me out of house and home. Good thing the trampoline is burning calories! ;)Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-84273411730482370982015-06-16T05:26:12.233-07:002015-06-16T05:26:12.233-07:00LOL!

When my kids were this age things were sooo different. I was a stay at home zookeeper. If my kids were in school now I have no doubt teachers would insist on them being heavily medicated. I found it necessary to keep them physically and mentally engaged at the same time. And...the little beasties were always 10 steps ahead of me. I was out of my league.

I definitely appreciate the outdoors too around here. We have snow and then wind in the spring, so summer and fall are the perfect seasons, IMO. ;)Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-80653422098280300402015-06-15T14:49:06.839-07:002015-06-15T14:49:06.839-07:00Anne Marie: sounds to me as if you have a non-fict...Anne Marie: sounds to me as if you have a non-fiction book waiting to be written. <br />Elise Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111849185666548945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-39584621815296916302015-06-15T14:25:52.391-07:002015-06-15T14:25:52.391-07:00Like Jean, I no longer run a zoo. :-) However, I s...Like Jean, I no longer run a zoo. :-) However, I still find myself slowing down in summer as the beautiful weather beckons. When you have over eight months of cold and dark, you really want to appreciate the ability to go barefeet outside!Marcelle Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164965676254630066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-52411539450254059572015-06-15T11:27:04.711-07:002015-06-15T11:27:04.711-07:00*Thinking September* :)

But I long for them. So I'll say something grandmotherly and annoying, enjoy. If you can! I certainly enjoyed your post and the memories it brought back. And BTW, think September! jean harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925805990806522316noreply@blogger.com
