With the exception of last night, which led to the boy staying home from school this morning because there was no way I could foresee having the energy to load up the girls and actually leave the house to pick him up.
So with three kids in the house this morning and the fights already brewing we pulled out the craft basket and got to work. Little leaves were cut (finally using up the paper bunting left over from birthday number 4), arms and hands were traced to make bare trees, glue sticks were wielded and for a half hour, blissful calm emerged at the kitchen table. Along with some pretty beautiful fall trees, if I do say so myself.
It wasn't as good as three simultaneous naps would have been, but it was exactly what I've been missing so terribly these last months.
And that makes one bad night worth it.
