I'm also old enough to dread them when the mite goes to school in a few years. Barely three years old and he's already reasoning too much. The other night when Daddy wanted to relax on the deck with a beer and his book, he wanted to "drive" something. After being told no we can't drive the lawnmower around the yard, no we can't take the skid loader out to grade the driveway he told me that Mommy wanted to park her truck where mine is so we should drive that to where Mommy normally parks. Damn kid! I’m just happy that I can still remember those days! I’m also old enough to dread them when the mite goes to school in a few years.

If it’s too loud, you’re too old!

The summer vacations were a bit more painful during those years... but somehow, more fun! :) These days, my kids don't want to hang out with me at the park anymore.

Our kids are younger, but today was last day of school, and the "what should we do nows?' started about 15 minutes after school let out. Have plans to make it a great summer, but trying hard to teach the kids that every minute doesn't have to be some big planned activity and "boredom" is entirely self-inflicted.
