It usually means one of three things:
1. Gabe is at school and the younger two are off playing by themselves (this NEVER happens when Gabe is home....he and Isaac have invented a new form of really loud, really obnoxious, really out-of-control play. The minute Gabe comes home, all heck breaks loose.)
2. The children are all tucked snug in their beds and for a short 8 hours (if we are lucky) they are asleep
or
3. They are doing something naughty
Apart from "being naughty" (which quiet I do not relish) I have recently had the pleasure of experiencing a few of these other quiet moments........and I have proof.
Yesterday I found Isaac playing in the box of winter clothes in the closet. Quiet, happy, and having a wonderful time.

This picture is of Gabe and Cael having their weekly "sleepover". It's such a special treat for them. I'm just happy they're asleep.

I look forward to many more of these quiet times in our household.
I know they come few and far between. It just makes them all the more sweet to savor.

Oh, I love those moments! I hope you get to enjoy a lot more of those. I hate that my babies learn to say shh so early. I don't even notice I say it anymore, I say it so often! And I have more girls than boys!
I am with ya on this, Melanie!! I relish those quiet moments, ecspecially in a household full of boys. I am not quite sure what to expect when they all become teenagers and their friends decide to invade us as well.
We are excited to see you guys a few weeks!!
I love the sleep over. I think that is adorable! Quite it a blessing from heaven. :)
