Just a typical afternoon

I put Brian in his room for a nap, and he said he wanted to sleep in his nest. Your nest? Yes, he said, pointing to the red crate holding all his books. Ok then. We emptied it out, I lined it with two towels and sat him inside. It didn’t look too comfy to me, but he was happy as a clam so I said goodnight and went downstairs…
To find Marie sitting in the middle of the floor, box of crayons emptied out all around her, big pile of kleenex that Brian had emptied on the floor earlier next to her as well. She said “Mom, I laid 25 eggs and they all hatched into chicks and I’m feeding them chick food with whipped cream.” I missed so much while I was upstairs! She had taken a kleenex and wadded it up around a blue crayon (blue whipped cream) and was squirting it on some kleenexes to feed to her chicks which are actually the crayons. I said ok, then went back upstairs to see how Brian was doing in his nest. He is sitting in there reading a book to himself, happy as can be, didn’t even notice I stuck my head in the doorway. I didn’t disturb him. I’m on my way to help with the chicks now.
