Zen Rock Castles


I love this photo right now. Why? Because it was taken on Sunday afternoon... during a quiet moment (parents may know what I'm talking about even if they have to work at it), when I realized my children were both otherwise engaged. The house was quiet. The boy was reading a book, engrossed on the couch. The girl was out back, piling rock after rock into these containers. "To build rock castles, Mama," she said. Ah I miss that oasis of quiet but I'm trying to remember it tucked between the moments of frustration, squabbling and noise.

    Ah, the cherished moment of quiet... that never lasts nearly as long as the chaos. There must be a Murphy's Law about that. Hope you can still savor it in the midst of the Halloween storm tomorrow! The mamas will meed all the patience we can muster tomorrow.
