evening ritual.


just your ordinary average weekday evening around here.  heaps of homework, with a serving of bedtime snack on the side.  and Queen Bee Scarlett, smack dab in the middle of it all.  at times like this, all I can do is simply shake my head and marvel at the chaos and the extreme amount of work it takes to raise this bunch.

and everyone tells us we'll miss these days?

sometimes I wonder.

Um...are you standing on the countertop? First the ladder, now that counter. Yeesh-ka-bibble! (Hee, hee). Cute shot.

Love the picture. There's a lot going on. Is Jake checking to see if his deodorant is still working? Love how Ms. Scarlett has taken center stage.

That's what they say... But somehow I am still excited to crawl into bed in a quiet house someday...

How lucky you are to have a smart husband to help with the homework. My kids gave up even asking for help from me...

@Tara no I don't homeschool, although I admire those who have the patience, dedication and determination to do so. I guess I enjoy my peaceful and quiet afternoons too much :-)
@Becca my kids don't ask me for help with their homework either. apparently, I've lost too many brain cells over the years...

Yes you will miss this...you can still see them and gather them close. From an old mom of many who have grown up....
