childhood

the gals have been getting out of the house... a few days a week... in the evenings... to play with their friends...

and very often... one of them would return home... with either a skinned knee... or a cut somewhere... they are so used to it now that they can clean their wounds themselves...

in fact... when i was reluctant to grant them permission to play this evening... joanna told me that the teacher said that today's weather was great... and encouraged the children to be playing outdoors... oh wells...

the more i watch them play... the more grateful i am...

this is their childhood... my gals have a childhood... at least one memorable year of it... =P

they remind me of my own childhood... of just playing and hanging around with friends at the void deck... marbles... playground... playing police and thief... hide and seek... cycling... =)
