Quiet Time

Quiet time.

What is that?

Can somebody remind me?

It happens so rarely around here these days.

When it does happen,

I try to savor it

and mix a little relaxation time in with productivity.

Sometimes it works.

Sometimes it doesn't.

Like today for example.

Both girls were napping at the same time.

So was Blue.

It was beautiful, peaceful and quiet.

Then the power went out again.

(It was out for 8 hours yesterday due to the storm.)

This time it was only out for a moment.

When it came back on it triggered the doorbell to ring.

This made Blue think there was someone at the door and he started barking.

The barking frightened Elliotte, who started crying.

The crying would be better described as wailing,

which woke Piper.

There goes quiet time!

Sigh.

You win some. You lose some!

Piper and her best bud enjoying the beautiful weather
and having a moment together on our patio.

While little one has a quiet moment of her own.
She is getting better at getting her thumb in her mouth now,
but her aim still isn't the best
as you can tell by the scratch on her forehead.
She now likes to sleep with her thumb in her mouth at night as well,
so I only swaddle one arm to keep her happy!
