Quiet Time

What do you get when you put one 4 year old and one 2 year old into a small room by themselves for "quiet time" lasting just over an hour?

A big, fat mess.
P.S. - it was certainly not a very quiet "quiet time".

Aye, aye, aye!
I don't know what I'll do if my kids stop taking naps before kindergarten. My goal is to keep it going as long as possible! :o)
Is Jesse cleaning it up?

Yeah, Melinda was still taking naps until about 3 or 3.5 years, but we had to stop letting Jacob take naps a couple months ago, because otherwise he is up until almost 11pm, bouncing around the bedroom and keeping Melinda awake. No more naps is sad. :( It's always nice if they fall asleep on their own, watching a show or in the car, but then it ruins bedtime.

And yes, Jesse is cleaning up. As did I as soon as I put the camera down. Melinda helped, but Jacob was decidedly unhelpful.

Quiet time is NEVER quiet.

Holy moly. I am glad to know that my kids are not the only ones. Hehe.
