- sleeping late
- lazy breakfasts
- having my tea outside
- staying in p.j.'s until the neighbourhood kids start ringing the doorbell
- kids swinging in the backyard
- flowers blooming
- shrieks of laughter from a gang of boys having a water gun fight
- hearing my kids and their friends playing on the brand new monkey bars the "backyard neighbours" just installed
- messy ice-cream faces
- sounds of kids splashing in the pool next door
- scraped elbows and knees
- overhearing the plot to the latest game
- lunches outside
- feeding every kid on the block
- races to the park and back
- kids on scooters and bikes
- boys building backyard forts
- kids catching bugs
- children watering the veggie garden
- children watering each other
- DH doing a BBQ and then us all eating it outside
- quilts on picnic tables
- citronella candles
- dandelions given to me by my sons
- boys weeding
- kids trading Pokemon cards on the front step
- sounds of kids laughing from the yard across the street
- getting cleaned up before bed then settling in on clean sheets
- sounds of boys
shouting... talking to the neighbour's kids through their open bedroom windows when they should be asleep!
And that was just Monday ;-)
