You are worried about seeing them spend their early years doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play and run around all day long? Never in their life will they be so busy again.

Now that you mention it, I have to admit I've been spending time outside with ours as the do the same thing :D wish we were much closer they could share time or be creative together....btw the kids adored K. skit(poetic song about aches)
ahhh...and your kids have a breathtaking view while they're doing "nothing". Beautiful!
dear Wise Mama of the North,
So glad you see this~Enjoy!
Watching my kiddleywinks enjoy their childhood, is a view I never would have wanted to miss.

it's amazing how 'nothing' can occupy kids! great kids, great scenery! :)
Love the pictures...love the quote. I am going to get busy doing nothing!
Beautiful pictures, wonderful quote. I love when the kids take off and explore, that childhood at it's best!!
Lovely post...I would have my boys do the same but yesterday they might have blown away. I plan to post a picture of a tree that blew over from the wind. I am so glad it did not hit the house!!! Also I love my cup. I use it to drink coffee in the morning. :)
I like this quote too. As a parent in these modern times, sometimes I wonder if we should be more involved in all the activities that thier classmates are in and then I'm reminded that the busier we are, the less time they would have to just be kids. They learn so much from taking things apart, building things up, exploring, working together.
Really, they do a lot. Get up every morning, get ready for school, choke down breakfast and vitamins, brush teeth and hair, out the door to school where they have only 3, 15 minutes recesses, back home for a snack and a little time to "do nothing" before supper, reading/piano, and then bed. I wish they had more time to do nothing but then... this is life and we live, learn and make the best of each day!
