Kate got her audio book privileges back on Monday. So at during today's library trip she loaded up, for the first time in six weeks. And Josh followed suit, bringing home his own stack of audio books to listen to.

After chore time tonight Kate immediately began her listening routine. then she comes in an hour later and says, "It's so nice to be at peace."

"What?" I asked.

She explained, "Audio books give me peace, a place to rest from the rest of the world."

Hmm. well maybe some tween drama, but, the point is that she LOVES her audio book time. Which of course was the reason Daddy chose to take away that privilege for the infraction six weeks ago. It got her attention.

Tonight Josh and Kate are huddled under blankets listening to a new series Kate picked up at the library and I'm loving it. My babes are immersed in literature and stories, and what can be better than that?
