I was just reminiscing about the time in my life when all my kids were home. Ah...those were the days! I was busy, don't get me wrong. I was babysitting A LOT of children along with my own but I loved it! I loved being able to bake cookies, do crafts, go to the park, take naps, watch children's movies and Teletubbies and Barney, make and then play with play dough, do little girl hair over and over and over (all the girls wanted their hair done every day), play hide and seek (my favorite thing when I was tired: I would find a really hard place to hide and let them look for me for about 10 minutes while I rested), run through sprinklers in the park with all of our clothes on, dig sand holes in the sand with the kids and then play like they were our homes, go over to my mom's or my grandma's and hang out, shop at Target with all the kids holding one hand on the cart so I wouldn't lose anyone, etc, etc, etc. I really really really miss those days!!! It wasn't easy. I even had to potty train four kids at the same time, but I loved playing with the kids and having time with them. I feel like I never see my kids anymore with school and friends and homework and sports and work. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time for just a day.

I feel the same way!
The post is a great reminder! We're starting to get to the busier stage with more activities, but I can't imagine how busy it can become with teenagers and all their activities and school stuff! :)
I remember those days!!! WHat fun. Especially the potty training.
I know how you fell. I'm still there with Christian but we charish every minute we get with Dee and Isaiah.
