When It's All Quiet InThe House...


What's a mom to think when it's all quiet in the house? I don't know about you but I think that someone is doing something naughty (unrolling toilet paper, punching computer buttons, pulling books off of shelves, etc.) somewhere in the house. I hunted around and found Merritt (recovering from stomach flu) reading aloud from his Stegosaurus book and drawing on his ever-present doodle board. I was so happy that he chose to read and draw with his down time that I had to record the moment for posterity. After snapping a quick picture I went in search of Grace. Low and behold, she also was reading (the Friend is her book of choice here), comfortably ensconced between the side tables I hauled onto the couch so that I could mop the floor. I had to shed a tear...

That had to be one of the best moments ever! Knowing that your kids were doing somthing that was actually quiet. Very cute. I love your blog and it will be so much fun to look at it and see what your family is up to.

Quiet children usually mean trouble. I'm glad yours were being good and not smearing desitin all over the carpet like Caleb did yesterday.
