Back to the Park

Posted June 20, 2015

The kids loved this lake and park we'd visited with Christine and her kids, so we went back one afternoon while Robbie did homework.

This was almost as good as a ride at an amusement park. :)

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
