supervising from the couch: Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday

It also happened to be General Conference, so we had our traditional crepe breakfast.

Then we cleaned up and loaded the car so we could beat the next snowstorm. We had a blessedly uneventful drive home.

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
