More kids more quiet: How does that work?

Okay, I'll be honest, my least favorite part of the day is just after dinner. That is when I'm ready to sit down and enjoy a little extra peace and quiet. That usually not what my boys have in mind, more often than not they escalate their volume levels.


Tonight we invited our two neighbor girls over play. That means there was a 8 year old, a 5 year old, a 3 year old and a 20 month old upstairs in my house. You'd think adding extra small people into the evening mix would be insane, but it was so quiet. WHAT?!?! How is that possible?


My neighbor was also shocked because her two youngest (the 8 year old and 5 year old) don't get along at all. She expected to hear a few fights through the window, but we didn't have a single fight the whole time. I guess we need to do this more often!


Lucius climbed up and down the stair like 50 times, coming down to tell me something he thought was worth all those trips, but for the life of me I don't know if he was a snitch or just super excited to have company.

And now you know where there were always (or most always) more than 4 in our house at any one time when you were little.
