Bottoms Up

It might be hard to tell at first what this is. But it is a mothers sigh of relief.

With more than one child in the home, many hours of the day can be spent resolving conflicts, melt downs, or roof shattering yelling.

But not at the moment captured above. No, in the above photo Jared and Novalee are sitting together (very closely I might add) without hitting each other or fighting. They are sitting together coming up with ideas and laughing from excitement about the legos they have just dumped into a tub full of water.

Now, I did realize that I would eventually have to skillfully drain the tub without a single lego going down the drain but that was something to worry about in some other moment.

For now, just relief. :)
