28/365 Nap time, A tired Mom, & Finger Paints

The youngest decided to throw a 3 hour party in her crib last night.

At first, this mommy couldn't wait until the little ones nap time. 

Then she realized she had two boys who do not nap.

Do this mom did the only thing she could.

The only guaranteed way to keep those boys quiet.

At least long enough to enjoy closing her eyes.

25/365 Arts & Crafts, & Sibling Fun

Thomas stayed home today.

I braced myself for a day of fighting over toys, 

and extreme noise.

Instead of it starting right away, I found this.

Thomas had asked for the box of arts & crafts,

and since I can (mostly) trust the boys, 

I let them have it. 

I did not expect to find all three of them coloring so peacefully.
