Sleeping Tigers

Just had both children and the dog fall asleep on me.... I felt totally choked at the gentle sound of their breathing and warmth of their bodies leaning on mine. Archie shattered after school and football, Tabby worn out from putting on all her pants and socks at once (15 pairs pants) - very funny and time consuming. But the result was tired peeple curled up together with an old dog accross our feet - a magical moment of real togetherness. The lead up to this perfect evening included good old mashed potato for supper followed by hot chocolate in tin camping cups. Both children now carried safely to bed and gently snoring on this blissful September evening.
