What happens when the kids get ‘quiet’….


Every once in awhile my kids get really ‘quiet’ and my mama antenae goes up and I must check on them.  A few weeks ago Elias brought a robot book home from the library called ‘Cosmo and the Robot’ I declared a quiet time after our day of errands (including the library) and was awoken from my light nap from the sound of defining silence broken by the occassional sound of cardboard boxes being dragged down the hallway.  I stepped quietly out of my room to spy on the action and found a full ‘robot factory’ going on in the kids room!  I had to lay down the law about no paint in the bedrooms so their creations had to wait for their final pictures until this morning when I did allow painting to take place in the kitchen.  Enjoy the pictures and remember to let your kids raid the recycle bin now and again- its always fun to see what their imaginations come up with with a little inspiration from a book!
