We had a quiet moment yesterday. Just for a minute. The kids found a caterpillar in the sandbox. They watched it, poked it and were quiet. Just for a minute.
Noah is off of school for winter holidays. His preschool was on the local calendar so they take a break from November 20th until January. Then they have school all summer. We've been busy with our regular outings. Loving to have Noah all day, and also having few moments of quiet. Maybe that's why I noticed this one.
This week was particularly free of quiet moments. We tended our neighbors' girls for a couple days. Every time we got in a taxi the driver would say, "You have 4 chil ren?!" We painted sugar cookies, made cotton Santas and had so much fun Noah could barely stand it.
We also had a church Christmas party to help plan, Christmas shopping to do, David a stable at the church to build, planning for our trip next week and I started doing private Speech Therapy on Wednesdays and Fridays.
After our trip, I intend to have more quiet moments. Make fudge and peppermint bark. If we turn our air con down low enough maybe a cup of hot cocoa with a candy cane in it. Wrap Christmas presents and make cardboard ornaments.
And go back to this park with the boys to climb this tree. Hopefully we'll find a caterpillar.

So odd to see you still galavanting around in shorts and tees. My long johns have become a permanent part of my daily attire again. The snow has finally arrived but the air feels like a big SLAP in the face. Why must there be opposition in all things?? No catipillars in our sand boxes today ... and not any quiet moments either!
The quiet moments are priceless to a mother of young children. I am glad you are able to savor them when they come. You certainly sound busy!
