Why Is It So Quiet

12/9/2016

It's Friday morning and I'm sitting in my closet/office knitting and watching Julie Bravewriter on Facebook talking about optimism and hope in your homeschool. I'm enjoying the quiet. But I'm also worried about the quiet. At this time of day I should be hearing the boisterous bustling about of 8 children having breakfast and doing chores. But it's nearly silent from where I sit. I'm guessing that means the older boys are still sleeping and the girls and Silas all raced through eating to head down to the basement to play, chores undone. Because we cleaned the basement this week and somehow that always inspires them to make a new mess. They are very creative, which is wonderful, but a mouse found running around down there this week (I don't really want to talk about that) forced us to pick up, reorganize, and clean. So I'll talk about it a little- a house is being built next door which I'm sure has disturbed the mice from their homes in that field so they're searching for new homes. We've had 2 in the past week and I'd just like to pretend it's not reality. Anyway, back to the quiet. I need to be done knitting this fun, bright, cheerful hat for Ella now and get everybody motivated for chores and some school work. This afternoon we're decorating cookies with friends. And there's snow in the forecast for the weekend so hopefully I'll get to spend lots of time inside with yarn and a hot drink!
