Just think if it was you or I out there running around in 112 weather. I don't think I'd like it.<BR/><BR/>Afa the bottled water...I think its actually pretty funny.

God has built various mechanisms into us, as human beings, to physically tell us when we're overdoing it-but that doesn't mean we're always wise enough to listen to it. <BR/><BR/>For example: our bodies tell us when it's time to rest-that they need rehabilitation, right? Yet, Lex and Gentry, not recognizing the downside, OFTEN choose to ignore their bodies, and push themselves past the point of exhaustion. Part of growing up is learning to listen to your body-and I can't say for sure that our kids are quite there yet.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm not advocating taking away recess. I think in extreme climates-like yours-it might be appropriate for them to construct an oversized gymnasium or something, and have active recess, but in an indoor environment, for that EXTREME part of the year. They can get a little creative, still provide a venue for the kids to release the energy and get exercise, yet feel comfortable knowing the kids aren't going to drop from heat exhaustion.<BR/><BR/>Now-with respect to you tearing up those applications: you're not gonna get an argument from me (considering it's wasteful to drink bottled water! It costs $8.25/gallon, for goodness sake!).<BR/><BR/>If you don't believe me, check out my post on myndfood.com (shameless plug...sorry!).<BR/><BR/>Love the blog guys!

I think God put it in each one of us (even kids) to know when to slow down, rest and hydrate ourselves. <BR/>As for the tore up apps. Too bad you can't go back and redo huh? proably could use those people. <BR/>THE CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP<BR/>I intend to do a post on the outcome from this. But in my opinion it was great ALL the kids loved it! <BR/>LOVE YA BABYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
