Abortion stops a beating heart.

Puzzled Silence

Friday, May 09, 2008 1:04 PM

The house was unusually quiet this morning, and I peeked in the bedroom and saw this puzzle fest:

I hate to admit it, and contrary to what you might think since the older children have “classical” school checklists, but there is often a relaxed, almost-unschooling streak in our home. Academics are very important, but “play” takes up the vast majority of the day for the younger children.

Edited to add: L3 finished his puzzle and just when I started to say something, he tore it apart and said, “I was done, and then I wrecked it ’cause I wanted to do it a million times!!!”

    I just love it when it gets quiet in my house and I find a similar scene. Typically the quiet means somebody is into something, so it’s such a joy to find them busy doing something fun and constructive together! :)
