The kids are home from school today. Oh joy!

Of course, they have not yet discovered the well honed talent of sleeping in. They must rise as early as possible, to play video games, to read and to ask me for 5 million things at the same time.

I was still trying to finish my coffee (to which I add instant breakfast to for my chocolate fix and because who has time to sit and eat breakfast) When my oldest son (9 years) and my daughter are running through the house screaming and chasing each other and laughing. It was just too early, plus running and screaming through the house are not really the manners I want to instill.

They stopped, but what they didn’t know was the part of me that was thrilled they were playing together.

I love it when my children can be not just brother and sister but friends as well.

I pray that this will continue throughout their lives. That they can be each other’s role models, confidants and someone to lean on, along with being a best buddy to hang out with.
