all quiet on the western front

It's 8 minutes 'till 9 and it is silent in our house. SILENT! "Silence is golden, duct tape is silver." LOL. One of my favorite quotes. Kids are asleep. Brad is gone fishing. Nothing is on tv. I want to get up and get a bowl of peppermint ice cream, but then my teeth will hurt. Too cold. :(

Today was exhausting. Joseph and Emily hung out with us while their mom and dad golfed. All of the kids were so good, but darn it they are loud! I guess that is why I am enjoying the silence now.

I am so tempted to start decorating for Christmas already. Brad would kill me. On Monday the community center is making reservations for Santa visits. It is first come, first serve, so I will have to remember to call early. Last year when Santa and Mrs. Claus knocked on our door, Payton went nuts. She STILL talks about that! Ellie was afraid of him. Who knows how she will react this year. Such a neat thing NOR does for kids though. It blows my mind that it is free! Nothing is free these days!

Well, I don't know what else to say....I am truly drained. Hope the girls sleep in tomorrow. Yeah right.
