What They're Doing Right Now

Because this is such a perfect example of a day in our life, I wanted to share what the little ones are doing right now...It's 10:30 on a Monday morning.

Having completed a full day of homeschool already (science, math, handwriting, language arts, reading, history, geography and religion), I sent D upstairs to make his bed and change out of his pajamas...he loves to homeschool in his PJs.  That was 40 minutes ago, and therefore I can't help but assume he's still in his PJs building with Legos or absorbed in a book.  I'd go spur him, but school doesn't start for another 3 hours, he's finished his work and most of his chores, and it's peaceful.

The girls are being unusually quiet.  I was starting a pot of chicken noodle soup (yes, strange considering it's still summer here) and decided I had better look in on the scene.  In our house quiet doesn't usually equate to a good thing.  I found Mary (H) with a dishtowel on her head like a veil, and Joseph (M) peacefully taking care of baby Jesus (a doll once known as "ugly baby" because it really is rather ugly).  They have bottles and lemons and a hamburger patty and Baby Jesus is having a nice little meal.  The volume rose considerably when Mary and Joseph started arguing for the right to change His holy diaper.  I have to wonder if He is laughing at this too.
