My beautiful girls,
their little legs are all bruised,
their faces filthy.
Grass strains and skinned knees,
Kate Gosselin would not approve
of the way they play.
But for this Mommy
this is what summer should be,
just play, play, play play.
They run and tumble,
full of such laughter and life,
a heartwarming sight.
And ahead of us?
Countless days of summer sun.
What could be sweeter?
In my house, with two boys, if there isn't a bruise involved, then it wasn't a success. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy times, indeed.
That is so awesome. Enjoy your summer. I wish my youngest two were 4 and 2 again...it goes soooo fast. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteGreat picture - it really captures the summer fun!
ReplyDeletetruly there is nothing sweeter!!
ReplyDeletealthough why are we all so obsessed with kate and her approval?? tee hee :) do you think she knows she has this whole weird like following out here in bloggy world??
That was a brilliant haiku and I agree completely. Love the picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with everyone and Kate lately? :-)
Much, much fun and such a beautiful haiku. Adorable picture, too!
ReplyDeleteHow fun...she looks so adorable in the photo. Your haiku said it in the most cute way!
ReplyDeleteHappy fun Friday!
Have fun this summer! We plan on getting lots of bruises and grass stains, too!
ReplyDeleteBruises and grass stains are all a part of summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!!
What a wonderful picture you paint with your haiku! I love the photo too. It definitely depicts fun and carefree times.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a fun new meme on Tuesday called "Silly Monkey Stories." It is all about children. I hope you'll join in!
Have a great weekend. Hope you'll get to spend some fun and carefree moments with your girls.
They wouldn't be playing if they weren't covered in bruises. Way to allow them to be kids.
