Once Upon a Quiet Morning....

 

Nothing makes a mom happier than her kids getting along and playing quietly. 

 

I love that our girls are now at a great age where they can pretty much take care of them selves so I can sleep in, make phone calls setting up doctors/dentist appointments, or work on a very neglected blog.  Which just happens to be how I have spent my morning.

 

Well they both kept yelling to me as I was working in my own little world asking me how to spell certain words.  Finally I had to take a bathroom break and I stopped in to see what they were working on and why they were getting along without any fighting or name calling. 

 

As I approached the bedroom Princess M yells, "how do you spell Upon???"  I replied, "what do

you mean?   I swam in a pond?  Or upon completing the jobs?"  (it's just what came to mind lol)  She came back with, "Like Whence Upon?"   I said, " Whence upon?? What are you doing writing a Fancy Nancy book in there??"

They have been quietly playing with all of their Christmas loot and writing books. :)   

Despite their room looking like this 90% of the time, I couldn't ask for better kids.  I truly am blessed to have them call me their mom.
