We used the afternoon to spend some time together. Laxmi was gone to a meeting and the children had “silent sitting time”. Hmmmmm…

It seems to work this “silent-sitting-time”, at least for some time. Enough to allow the husband to read his newspaper, something he seems to enjoy and do extensively every day. 

I asked the children if they wanted to draw something for me. An idea that was very much wellcomed.
