Stop and Smell the Roses

Due to some late naps, when bedtime was coming up the two middle ones were bouncing off the walls. So I decided to take them on a walk around our small block. They took along their strollers and babies. An off we went. But we got nowhere fast. Had to stop and pick a dandilion, look at a boy skateboarding, pick up a rock, sit and watch a beetle, re-arrange the "baby" in the stroller, talk to the old man on his porch, walk backwards, gather up sticks, stare at a dog. It took us a full hour to get around one small block but boy did we get to "stop and smell the roses" and we enjoyed doing so :)
