Little Boys Don't Stay Little Forever

We had the GREAT opportunity today to have a backhoe working RIGHT outside our front door!  How do we get such luck?  Ian was quick to grab his backhoe and get to work also.  As I watched him play, I started to think about the "good ol' days" that I thought would never end.  Why did they have to end?  When the older kids were little, we had nothing to do but play in the dirt with trucks for hours, go to parks, libraries, museums, playgroups - something different every day.  I realized that I need to relax every now and again and embrace my last two little ones.  Enjoy some things that I never do anymore.  I might get crazy and even pull out the finger paint.  Well, maybe baby steps....
