Today's theme is CHILDHOOD
So, here, I have chosen to shamelessly post photos of my children's childhood. We had the best time when they were little. All we did, me included, is play-day and night. They both had amazing imaginations. And me, being the doting Italian mother, indulged their every whim.
I can proudly say that they are still very goofy and make me laugh every day.
And, finally, a shot of me as a child. Here I am with my mother and younger sister on one of our annual summer trips to Italy. Don't I look like I'm having fun? I'm the one on the right, by the way.
I must take issue with the term 'a mere child,' for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.

P.S. don't know what is up with my photos posting so small- I am not happy about that. Maybe if I change the template?

Looks like your children had a great childhood!! All really great photos - and love the one of you in Italy!
Did they get along well? My two were best friends for the longest time.
Wonderful pictures, and I do love the one of you with your mother and sister.
Your pictures being small, is it perhaps when you upload them with Blogger you have the Small option chosen? It took me a while to notice that...
Welcome to the Photo Hunt.
I just love the last one. How lucky to get to travel in Europe.
Looks like your kids had a fun-filled childhood! And that's what it's all about, right??
Thank you so much for visiting me:-) The car behind me in my picture was a pinkish bronze colour from what I can remember! Love the pictures you posted...nice to see children playing outside instead of in front of the tv!! Kids should be allowed to be kids and have FUN:-) xo
Love the first one in the pool!

Well, you both look cute and your kids look very sweet! Something about kids and water that's just cool and fun!
Wonderful. Those pictures are SO fun!
Oh, they are lovely photos! Now that photo with your mom & sis is very heart-warming. It's nice to reminisce good old days. Your children are enjoying as well. Ah, being a child! :)
You realise your children will be embarrassed by these photos at some later date lol
Great shots
Looks like fun! Can I play too :)
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
beautiful photos! thanks for sharing!
Great post. I love your choice(s) for today's theme. Thanks for dropping by mine earlier.
They look so excited and very friendly with the camera. Some kids are camera shy, yours are not. Great pictures for today and thanks for stopping by!
Oh wow what a great set of cute kid pictures! So much childhood enthusiasm! Adorable choices for The Hunt.
Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. Yup, those boys did have fun. And we still do, that's what's important- and they're not parasites on society- that, too, is important.
Steve- They are only 15 months apart- they were (and still are to an extent) the best of friends. As good as two completely different personalities can be, I suppose.
They did get along well-until they started smacking each other in the face with their little plastic baseball bats. Then Mama had to step in and wield her iron fist (whatever!).
A.- thank you, thank you. I had the MEDIUM option chosen when uploading my photos. I can be such a ditz sometimes (shut-up you all).
thanks for visiting
I love your blog - nice shots

You asked how do I get my pictures full size.
First your blog must have enough space for big pictures which yours doesn't. (The layout you have was my firtst layout and I love it)
Then I upload them to photobucket and host them there. When uploading, I don't use the photo upload icon from blogger, instead I copy paste the code from photobucket and the picture will post on whatever size you store it.
On my JoeCoolsblog I upload them with the blogger icon because I can't go big pictures on that one.
Hi Gewels. Please pardon my late visit. I've been a little busy lately.
Thanks for sharing these terrific fun moments. I love how children have great imagination. Thanks for sharing a lovely photo of yourself with your mom and sister.
Take care and thanks for visiting my photo hunt.
