You know that I am always acting a fool around my kids. Not only do my kids love it, but I feel good about keeping myself active and showing off my "old people" skills. I love going for walks, take long bike rides, jumping in puddles, flying in the air, and so much more. I wish my parents were as active as I am with my own spawn. I think children need that. Not too many parents that I know personally do what I do. Not that I am the best kept secret or anything. I just love the life I have and the people in it. When I hear, "That was cool, mom" or "Wow, I didn't know you could still do that at your age" (like I'm old or something), I smile because I know I still got it. And, I just made my kid's year.
As you also may notice, we spend a lot of time outdoors. The boys and I had a good time with a rubber ball (I forget where the ball came from). Things just randomly appear at our house. But, it's nice for the kids because it makes birthdays and Christmases a breeze. I'm sorry, did I just say make it easier for the kids?? What am I thinking? It makes it a ton easier on the parents! Please, bring on the long lost, mystery toys any day of the week.
P.S. We're taking "mystery" donations, seven days a week.
What kind of quirky things do you do with your kids? Please, do tell.
