Yeah….those summers lasted FOREVER. If we could only slow them down now. What’s freaky is that all of these summers in the 40s and 50s are even faster than the ones in the 20s and 30s.

Problem is the only way to slow them down is to get bored – and who wants that.

Good work by the way.

I have to tell you MoneyFunk, I did NOT know back then. Our poor dogs got into real trouble for digging up my husband’s precious lawn. But like I said, my darlings have been in a confession mode these last few years and I have found out a lot of things…… some I’m not sure if I really wanted to know…. and I’m sure there are a lot of things left out…. which is probably a good thing! But one thing is for sure… we have laughed a lot… and you know what they say about laughter. I am a blessed woman…. my little darlings will always be just that… my little darlings.

That was a great story – I’ve got a few of my own that would make a few parents cringe. Now that I too am a parent I have to remember its not about where you stay and what you eat but about the experiences and fun you have along the way.

Excellent posts. Some of my best memories of summer with the kids, has nothing to do with going somewhere. My 15 month old has discovered his little backyard pool, and my 10 year old has his best buddy on the block. Those are memories they and I will treasure forever.

Beks, your mom is awesome.

My husband and his friend were playing with a potato gun and it exploded! Knocked ‘em both flat on their butts and cut them up pretty bad. The boom was heard a mile away.

Kids.

The one thing about being a parent is the fact that you never stop learning when it comes to your children. Now that all of my little darlings have ‘grown up’ (?) and have moved out, all of them have started spilling their guts out about events that happened in their past while growing up. It has been amazing as to what I have learned in regards to past deeds. I have to admit however, that none of them would be alive today to make these confessions if I had known then, what I know now. And (dog gone it) I can’t even catch them any more. They used to run when they would get caught doing something that they knew that they shouldn’t be doing. No problem here as I could always catch them. Now……… forget it…. they can just run.

Side note: Children, if you think that these confessions are going to give you brownie points as far as heaven is concerned…. forget it…. And don’t forget….. I’ll get there first. And on top of that, I’ll have a new body….. I’ll be waiting.
