Sounds in the Night

We had a long, busy weekend. Full of responsibilities AND fun. But, eventually, we must come back to reality! Last night, Chad went to bed early since he had to be at work VERY early this morning; and, I took over bedtime duty. You would think, how much bedtime duty is there actually with an 11 year old and a 7 year old.....well, it depends. Some nights they are SO tired that they fall into bed and you never hear another peep out of them. Considering that I woke them up at 9:40 yesterday morning, they were not too tired last night. So, the three of us laid in the bed and talked. Talked about school coming up, talked about trying out a new babysitter that they wanted, talked about how their summer had been going. Finally, all was quiet and no sounds at all were so wonderful. Just to lay there with my precious children and know they fell asleep very happy! Have a wonderful day!
