Here I am sitting at the computer at 3:30 in the morning again... my quiet time. Really. The last straggler just went to bed a bit ago. Ok, so she's 17. But, still. And, actually, it's not quiet, because the a/c is on and I have a semi-sleeping little 4month old on my lap. But, it's quieter than usual.What do I do in times like this? Well, as I walked in here after picking up the Little Raspberry Pixie Muffin, I noticed the rabbit in the cage in the office (read: room where the computers are). That led me to notice the dried grass and clover all over... on the floor, in the boxes of books next to the table the cage is setting on. My thoughts: I love homeschooling. I love having all of these fabulous children! oops.... brb... ok, back. Caleb woke up and was coming down the stairs. Not to worry, I woke Rachel up, who had fallen asleep on the couch after making a batch of midnight peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and sent her upstairs. Caleb was fluffing his pillow on the couch as I grabbed Rachel's latest read: Archimedes and the Door of Science, from off the couch. And I walked back into the office... hmmm, I would venture to guess that Isaac didn't really let that grasshopper back outside after emptying him from his little lock-box, because something very light green just flew past me and around and around as I re-entered the room. I love homeschooling all these little guys! And I can hear little Caleb standing behind me now. I guess that fluffed pillow just wasn't inviting enough. He is standing right behind my chair. And, as I turn to look, to get up and put Luc in her bassinet, LOLOLOLOL... really, OUT LOUD - I even woke Lucy up. There is little Babyboy, standing close up behind my chair, with a sweet little smile on his sweet little face... His sweet little chocolate chip-covered-face!! LOL! I laughed, and he laughed, and I laughed more, and he just grinned. So, what else is a Mom to do at 3:50am, with a laughing little boy, face all covered in chocolate chip and a now awake Little Raspberry? What else? I went to the kitchen and poured us a mug of organic cow's milk to share with our peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! I'd better go now, though... I have a cookie to dunk and, besides that, Caleb is pushing one of the wooden captain's chairs over to the bassinet... to share his cookie with his favorite baby sister, no doubt! Better get her over here to talk to him! Did I mention that I love homeschooling all of our sweet children? blessings! -Jacque Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 260 of 595 } { Next Page } |
