It’s Saturday morning. Hubby’s out of town so it’s just me. The house is a mess and the kids really should be doing jobs or cleaning their rooms and mowing the lawn. But miraculously, all the kids are happily playing legos–together. There’s not a whine or a complain in earshot. So—should I call them all together and assign out the jobs and have them get to work so they can play with friends this afternoon, or do I just leave them alone and let them play and then I can sew?
Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.
It’s those moments when you also think – “who ARE these children?!”
I hope the sewing was fun! That’s what I would have done! 
I hope you enjoyed your sewing.
I did the same thing (leaving the house a mess while hubby was out of town) and planned to do a clean swoop before he got home. But then I got sick. Such is life. 
Don’t jinx it! Don’t even breathe or let them know you’re aware of what they’re doing. It WILL fall apart. Enjoy it! Always take the time to enjoy it – the housework can wait. Siblings bonding is a beautiful thing, especially when that means Mommy gets to do something fun too.

I join the “let them play” chorus – of course, I was also of the “don’t wake a sleeping baby” school of thought!
Oh that’s great! I would definitely let them play. Hopefully you got a chance to sew.
Hope you enjoyed your sewing!
