Part of my job on Fridays is to get the kids out from underfoot so our wonderful cleaning lady, Elizabeth can actually clean. Since Tim had the day off we took them all to the park this morning. It is a great park with plenty of playground equipment, lots of green grass to run, and a little beach overlooking the river. Tim walked off with baby Timmy while I pushed everyone else on the swings. Soon the girls asked to chase the birds and before I knew it we had four children swooping around pretending they were geese, arms flapping, honking like mad. It certainly seemed like mutually beneficial exercise for both parties. After the geese got tired of the whole production and flew off we proceeded down to the tiny beach. The kids made forts, threw rocks, made mud bombs, and the older ones pretended they were trapped on a deserted island with only a few boards to make a raft. What a most wonderful way to spend a warm autumn day!
