oh yeah I know where this is going.
Okay have you ever had that moment as a parent where you say to yourself "This is so not going to end well." yeah me too. In fact I think I watch my kids play and I almost always say that to myself. There's nothing like a child's imagination to get them into trouble. To get them hurt. But there's also this line as a parent we shouldn't cross. That line called life. Knowing when to step in and when to let things be is the hardest one I think any parent has to face and so often I think we get it wrong. Sometimes very wrong. For me unless I see the out come about to be death I try to stay out of it. They have to grow, learn, and explore all on their own. I know this. That doesn't make it any easier of course. This weekend was filled with moments of dumb-ass-ity, moments where I may perhaps of wanted to shake my kids and say "What were you thinking." and then I have to remember; they weren't.
And somehow I'm okay with that.

Hey at least they had their helmets on! And Little Bird looks like she was thinking when she put on long pants and long sleeves! Thank you so much for the probably the best giggle I'll have all day.... Miss you all so, so much....
