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! 🙂
