Quite Kids!

So we as parents are always excited when are children are playing happily together without the screaming and crying. But, when 1/2 hour to 45 mins go buy with happy play we know that the children are up to no good (Especially when they are 3 and 1 years old.) I realized that I have not seen my children in awhile nor have they come to me crying. I then realized that it was tooo quite and that they have got to be doing something. I went back into Kalebs room where they had destroyed it. I found Kaleb and Kensie standing in the middle of the pile they had created just playing and laughing. They had gotten into his closet where 3 garbage bags of clothes that we are waiting for Kaleb to grow into had been ripped open. The clothes were all over the floor. The rugs were on his bed, the books and puzzles from his book shelf were all over, the bucket of toys and stuffed animals were no longer in the bucket, and to top it off they had taken the garbage bags and shredded them into small pieces. I should have taken pictures but I was really upset and just starting cleaning. But on the bright side they were playing quite nicely together and were not screaming back and forth at each other.

Kensie's favorite words right now are No, no and Kalebs are kensie did it. Keeps things interesting around here. Oh the joys of parenthood.

At least they didn't make a flag out of their underwear and declare that they had discovered the room for the country of troublemaking kids! I love your two little ones and I can't wait to see them again, now how are we going to arrange that?

I'm just learning this lesson about the calm before the storm. It's happened several times already---and I always kick myself for not picking up on it sooner. I should just know I can't relax and think all is well when it is quiet in Zion; )Anyway, I hear ya. I definitely hear ya.
