Holy cow (an expression my son dislikes because cows are big and scary)! It has been so quiet here today! My son went to my mom's house to visit and spend two nights, and I cannot believe how quiet it has been here without him! I never realized just how big of a motormouth he *really* is. I know some days I feel exhausted because of the constant talk, but with just me and my 16 month-old daughter here, it's been downright peaceful here! LOL

We are going to pick up our son tomorrow morning at my brother's house. We're meeting my parents there because my husband, father, and brother are all going to work on my brother's back porch cover. So, I'd better enjoy the quiet while it lasts!

My daughter was funny today. First, she had to check my son's closet a few times to make sure he wasn't in there (it's one of his favorite hiding places). Then she puttered around the house all day, randomly playing with toys. I think she enjoyed being able to play with whatever toys she wanted to, without having her brother yell at her or try to rip them out of her hands. I think I need to keep working on the sharing concept with them... ;)
