Happy Mothers Day 2012

I really enjoyed reading that and have decided that I will ask him the same questions every year and enjoy seeing the changes.

I think my back yard has become the gathering place of the neighborhood kids.  Yesterday and today I had 9 or 10 kids playing on the tampoline and in the sprinkler.  The first day we set up the trampoline they all came over and I made up a game.  I put a huge tote full ball pit balls onto the trampoline and all the girls got on and all the boys stayed off.  The goal of the game was for the girls to get all the balls off the trampolie and the boys to get them all on.  when a group won we traded.  ALL the kids loved it!! and they were all asking to play it again today.  I totally don't mind having the other kids here, honestly I would rathher have them here with my kids where I know what they are doing then having my kids else where and not know what they are doing.  I think I will strive for my house to be THE house to come to as the grow.  Some where they can be safe and comfortable and have fun with their friends.
