In an afternoon ~

In an afternoon, things can get still and quiet. All three kids sitting in different rooms of the house, creating something within their age/skill level. One may be working on math problems, another cutting shapes out of tissue paper to make a collage, and the youngest using as much tape as she would like to make maps or pictures. But it’s quiet, and I love it. I love how it feels and sounds knowing they are busy in their minds creating something without interrupting one another and working as long as their attention span allows, which sometimes is longer than I would expect. This doesn't happen every afternoon, but its a joy when it does . . .
