This morning the girls were out on the porch taking all the shoes, gloves, hats, and coats out. They were making a huge mess of the porch, it reminded me of when I was a kid always wanting to dress up and play pretend. My Mom has pictures of me with Dad's boots on, I think they were up to my chin. Maybe Grandpa Heer's vest on with a CAT hat!
There was one time when my cousin Jodi and I dressed Jess up in a dress. We had him all made up, I mean we are talking Dolly Parton stuffed!! We were headed back to the play area in the basement, when Jess tripped on the steps. He bounced all the way DOWN, we all laughed so hard I think maybe Jodi and I wet our pants!
Those that really know me, know I am very sentimental and love to reminisce. Sometimes life gets so demanding and hectic and we lose focus. Today I thought of that as I'm watching the girls play house and dress up. Some days it would be so nice to just play instead of having all the responsibilities. It's nice to just sit and listen to little kids play, you can learn a lot!
