Funny thing is... I don't remember ever being worried about making it to the playoffs or being traded!

I know I struggle with that constantly.<BR/><BR/>Lauren: Ya I loved knowing kids from blocks around. I'm not against organized sports at all but it sure got me thinking when we rarely see any pick up games going on across the street as to that cool aspect that my kids have missed out on becuase nobody is doing it. It's almost a thing of the past. It's such a busy society we live in. But here I go writing another essay.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-1150489093178818612006-06-16T14:18:00.000-06:002006-06-16T14:18:00.000-06:00I love the way we did it as kids and after trying ...I love the way we did it as kids and after trying the organized sports route, decided to boycott them after a few years.

I don't want ours to be an "activity driven" family -- we say "no" to so much -- but it's very hard not to be. Sad that we have to "plan" your spontaneous activities. I'm with ya.Katherine@Raising Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887240362516586161noreply@blogger.com
