Kids at VBS, House is Quiet!

Oh the sweetness of a quiet home! While I don't for one minute miss the days of life without children, having a peaceful morning feels somewhat like winning the lottery. An hour or two of sweet solitude is nothing short of  spectacular!

I'm not exactly child-free at the moment (so for me it's sweet semi-solitude).... as I'm watching my 2 year old niece, who is finishing her breakfast while watching Franklin on Nick Jr. I'm cherishing each and every moment she opts for the "quiet as a mouse" bit, as we call it at my house. When her cousins are home, there are very few mouse moments! Between three kids, despite their differences in age... they find all sorts of ways to entertain one another, few of which can be accomplished without a flurry of activity and yes...noise.

VBS will last throughout this week and these awesome folks for whom I'm sure will receive an extra jewel in their crown one day... even serve the kids breakfast! Does that rock or what? While I don't normally find myself using that expression, I think it's totally appropriate given the situation.:)

Do your kids attend Vacation Bible School and if so, do you volunteer (putting you about as far from relaxation as one can get) or do you use that time to play catch-up, kick-back, and stretch? lol I've got a list! Things to do, phone calls to make, and one on one time with my precious niece who will only be with us for one more month before taking off for pre-school. It's a special time and best of all, when my kids are ready to come home each day, I won't be the frazzled mom they usually see come lunch time! That will come later... say maybe around 8 o'clock tonight? lol

Be happy, enjoy life, and come back and see me here at The Homeschooling Blog!
