Quiet Time

I took a walk through my house at Quiet Time today.  

We used to call it Nap Time and in a few years, we might call it Reading Time, but for this season, each kid gets a corner of the house, their imagination and 60 minutes to figure out something to do with it. Quietly.

(Check out that bin of stuff! I think Elliott has passed on his Art of Hoarding to his little sister)

I will love 5 year old Elliott forever.

Some days are more successful than others but we've reached the stage where everyone knows what is expected of them (and is capable of doing it) and although I'm not sure that they would admit it, it's pretty clear that they enjoy it as much as I do.

And if you haven't already guessed, the Necessary-But-Not-So-Pleasurable hour after Quiet Time is called Clean Up Time!!
