At several points today I looked at my children and thought who are you two?? What planet did you come from??
They were loud
and argumentative
and unruly
and wild
and whiny
and how could they be like this right before Christmas???
I'll tell you how.
A months worth of excitement and sugar...
And then we curled up on the couch for some makeshift quiet time as naps were skipped. We watched the lights on our tree glow as the lights outside dimmed... and it was quiet. For the first time all day. And mama was happy.
