Just Too Quiet


A Quiet Sunday Afternoon!!!


We were having a quiet afternoon. Sitting inside discussing the day, the week and the next batch of items on our constant "to do" list. Did I mention it was quiet...?

Fiona was fighting nap time by singing as loud as she could...


Daddy was napping, though one eye was on Fiona and the other was trying to pretend to be sleeping...
but... where were the boys?
They had been in the back yard playing with their trucks and cars... but it was now quiet...

John went outside to see just what they were up to... and quickly came back into the house with a look of "grab the camera quick"...

Well... quiet was broken with squeals of laughter as we snuck upon our vegetable garden. The boys had taken the moment to "water" our tomatoes and somewhere within our raised bed were 6 greenbean plants... though maybe we should start planting rice? We now have a wonderful raised "rice paddy" for the offering... and two very muddy, happy boys.




Hey... there were some bean plants in there... somewhere...
no worries, after dad extracted muddy boys from the rice paddy, they were sent in for a bath... mom waded in to find 5 out of 6 bean plants floating in the pond. They have been transplanted to drier ground for the moment.










Who needs a nap when I can play?
