<h1>Happy Kids, Play: The Weekly Kids Co-Op</h1>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
I randomly ask <a href="http://lessonslearntjournal.com/about-pauline-lessons-learnt-journal" title="Lessons Learnt Journal: About Me">my kids</a> for a kiss throughout the day because no matter how much I have to clean up after them, no matter how much noise they make, no matter the intensity and frequency of sibling squabbles, bottom line is I am their mother and heck.. I love them!</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Looking at the wonderful posts linked up each week at the Weekly Kids Co-Op, it&#8217;s very clear that there are many children who are very loved.  As I visit various blogs linked up to the Weekly Kids Co-Op each week, it is also very apparent that kids at play are happy kids!</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
