The kiddos were all settled into their camper beds. It had been a lovely summer day filled with sailing, swimming and sunshine. Each child had brushed teeth and was in P.J.s. Each had a book in hand to read quietly. It was my turn to go to my Dad's house to take care of my evening ablutions. As I was leaving I reminded them all that it was "quiet time". Ya, Right.
As I walked away from the camper I heard furious whispering. Then, when I was halfway across the lawn I heard it. One of them yelled, "PILLOW FIGHT!"
Now, I could have turned around and walked back. I could have, but I didn't. I kept right on walking. And grinning. A wise Mom knows when to keep right on walking.
10 minutes later I returned and this is what I found.
The perfect ending to a perfect day.

Your children are beautiful. It would have been hard not to join them.
They look like they are having a perfect time-- good for you for just letting them be (sometimes that is so hard).
THAT looks like a good time. I love their little skinny legs.
Smiling.
You're so laid back. I would have ruined that moment.
We have definitely been out of sync, and now that school's started, I'm toast! :)
I love those photos, especially the last one (you caught all 4 kids' faces, along with the doll's!) And can you blame them for romping around and having fun - after all, isn't that how you ended up with 4 kids?
Adorable!! That's a wise momma. :-)
