So Quiet

Today is our last week day of our Spring Break & there is an almost deafening quiet in our house at this moment, except for the clicking of the keyboard as I type.  Yesterday we found out that our neighbor's cousins would be coming in yesterday or today.  They are 2 little boys that my 3 love to play with.  So at 10am the doorbell rang.  I was still in my sweaty exercise clothes so I let the kids answer the door in their jammies.  I did say it was Spring Break didn't I?  Hence the jammies so late. :)  When they opened the door to see the boys & neighbor girl outside they got so excited & started talking fast & loud.  They immediately ran upstairs to get dressed for the day & went outside to play in the cold.  I think its about 40 F but with the wind, it feels quite cold.  They played for about an hour & then were invited inside next door to play in the house.  I said  yes, and that's why my house is so quiet.

It makes me filled with joy each time my kids are so excited & happy that they have neighborhood friends to play with.  Siblings are almost always around to play with, so its nice when a few other friends are added to the mix.

Time for me to mix up some more plaster patching stuff so I can get 2 layers on the trench in the wall today.  I'm hoping to have the wall level again by Sunday or Monday.  I am looking forward to having the living room finished with beautiful color on the walls & ceiling.  Our new painting on the wall as well as other decorations to make it inviting & cozy.  And hardwood floor with a big fuzzy area rug to sit on.  It's gonna be beautiful!!!
