Don’t Forget To Evict Your Children This Week

July 3, 2017

As Winter settles in and our little garden is free from bindies and flies. As the sun is warming instead of burning and I have the need to keep the cozy levels high in the house – it’s time to send them out. 

The grass is calling. 

Send your kids to play outside - Patchwork Cactus (6 of 7)

It's strange, 

I always feel bad when I send the kids outside. 

It's usually when they're niggling at each, the house is a mess and I'm at the end of my tether. 

The part of my brain that believes it's good for kids to be outside and wants them to enjoy a natural childhood somehow always get's lost and I just feel like I'm being mean.

It's probably related to the whole end-of-my-tether thing. 

But as Winter settles in and our little garden is free from bindies and flies. As the sun is warming instead of burning and I have the need to keep the cozy levels high in the house – it's time to send them out. 

The grass is calling. 

And if they resist? A play-picnic may just get them enthusiastic.

Thanks to Vienna Woods for the umbrella and Pinch Me Beautiful for the playmate. Funny story; their dads were best friends at the same age.
