What are your children doing right now...

[Abbeygirlsouth]

DD is watching The Hunt for Red October with her dad.

[SugarCookie5644]

mine are playing with 30 glow bracelets i got from Michaels, they are running around dancing in the dark with them :lol:

[Jen in PA]

Curled up together in DD's bed reading. DS was in his sleeping bag earlier (his favorite place to sleep), but must have gotten lonely.

[Kathleen in VA]

Ds23 just walked in the door after spending the entire afternoon/evening mowing the church's lawn with another young man from church. He poked his head in the front door and said, "May I gain admittance here?" and then walked in.

 

Ds24 and dil are housesitting for an older couple from church who went on a cruise. Dd18 is spending the evening with them, and they're all probably watching a movie and playing with my new granddaughter.

 

Ds15 is with his dad cleaning doctors' offices. He will most likely be treated to a McFlurry or some such treat for helping out.

 

Dd12 is watching Pride of the Yankees.

[Grover]

It's rest time here so they are both in their rooms. DS is reading Mary Poppins and DD is either looking at books or has fallen asleep.

[amydavis]

My youngest 2 just finished cleaning up the room where they spent the afternoon using every available variety of block to build castles. The oldest son is just kind of roaming around, room to room...seemingly bored. My oldest dd and I just finished poking around the Pottermore site (we got in early, and finally got our emails, Yay!). Now the younger three have all joined together and are sitting and watching America's Got Talent...quality progamming, LOL!

[abbeyej]

Eating birthday cake and watching Ken Burns' Civil War.

[prairiegirl]

All 3 are doing the dishes. :001_smile:

[Jan in SC]

My oldest is sitting in the theatre taking notes from the director. My other two just got home from baseball and, according to my dh, they are eating and watching baseball- probably the Yankees.

 

**I have no idea why there is a sad thumb, but I'm not unhappy!!

Sad thumb

[SweetBean]

DD 16 - eating a bowl of ice cream

DS 14 - reading over my shoulder

DS 3 - getting tucked into bed by DH

DD 5 mos. - asleep in her crib

[Amy1k]

My 10 year old daughter is on a computer behind me singing Selena Gomez songs and playing Crazy Machines and my teenage boys are watching ESPN in their bedroom (and likely texting their friends). :D

[Amy1k]

Actually my daughter just switched her tune to a self-created song that goes something like, "I want to make a milkshake..." :laugh:

[kitten18]

Eating cake and watching Word World on Netflix instant.

[Mom22ns]

Getting in some last minute instrument practice.

[Lisa in the UP of MI]

It's 8:30 here and my kids are all been in bed and have been for 30 minutes (toddler), 1 hour (7yo), and 2 hours (3yo and 5yo). DH is still at work so I'm alone!

[swellmomma]

DS13 is watching an episode of ghost hunters, dd12 is cleaning her room, ds8 is playing with the new blocks and building a city for his little cars, dd4 is playing with her Dora play house. In about 5 minutes I will be calling for the other 3 to start evening clean up and getting them off to bed (it's 7:40pm here)

[DarlaS]

Teen boys are in their rooms, two youngest are watching Dragonheart 2 (just ended). The puppy is chewing on something I hope is his. Older dog is sleeping until the puppy bugs her again (They're kind of like kids right?). Dh is sleeping. (He's also kind of like a kid. ;))

[swellmomma]

DD- practicing violin

 

DS- kicking around the inflatable globe

 

We had an inflatable globe war earlier this evening. I won :tongue_smilie:

[Sahamamama]

I just thought it would be neat to get a snapshot of what is going on in your house right now.

 

Mine turned all the outside lights on and are running around outside in the dark. This is a good thing - they'll be good and tired in an hour when we go to bed.:D

 

The girls are all sleeping (8:30 pm bedtime).

 

Husband is playing a video game on his i-phone. :tongue_smilie:

 

I am here.

 

The house is clean, the kitchen is settled, the laundry is done, tomorrow's school work is lined up on the table, the lights are mostly off....

 

I can hear the clock in the kitchen ticking. I can hear the living room clock ticking. They are not synchronous, but the rhythm is nice.

 

All is calm. Now all we need is snowflakes and music. :lol:

[*Inna*]

Practicing doing cartwheels outside and taking turns pushing 2 y/o on the swing.

[FO4UR]

Sleeping - :hurray::hurray::hurray:

[Lady Florida.]

He just made himself a root beer float and is watching Pawn Stars with dh.

[Rosie_0801]

Ds is watching a cartoon version of 'Hans and the Silver Skates' because today was "I is for Ice Skating." Not that he'd know that, because he's 2, but dd and I were watching youtube clips of ice skating this morning so she should be impressed once she emerges from her room. She's in there playing with cuisinaire rods at the moment. I just sat down here to write up a blog post for today's "school" day and remembered I had nothing terribly important to do, so I'm here while I wait for inspiration. I'm feeling inspired to lie on a blanket in the backyard and read my book.

[Mommyfaithe]

Little boys sleeping. Teenagers in here discussing the injustices of the world.

[LibraryLover]

My dear sons got my internet back on by communicating via cell phones. I had tried everything! Woot! My oldest dd is sleeping, and my youngest dd is reading in my bed. I just finished braiding her hair. :)

Edited September 14, 2011 by LibraryLover

[Mom-2-7]

Oldest ds is putting together a Lego crane.

 

Youngest dd is out with hubby getting something to satisfy our sweet tooth.

 

The rest are watching Andy Griffith on Netflix (They love Barney!).

[Quiver0f10]

Oldest is watching a movie in her room, 21 and 18 yo are away at college, 20 yo is in the kitchen, 16, 15, 13 and 12 yo are still at CAP, 8 and 6 year olds are in bed.

[Bang!Zoom!]

Rebelling.

 

I wanted to work on decimals, she burst into the Peanut Butter Jelly Song. They actually taught this for some reason at the PS today.

 

I remember when my oldest learnt this one. If you've never heard it, don't click. It's viciously "sticky n catchy".

 

You remember it? Anyone sympathize with me?

 

[Virg]

One twin and DSD are building a duplo tower to the ceiling and knocking it down to entertain the daycare baby.

 

The other twin is using the inflatable globe from MFW-ECC as a basketball. He taped a piece of paper to the playroom wall and is "shooting" the globe at it.

 

DSS is in bed, he is the odd one out, since it is barely past 9 and he is 16. He likes to go to bed early. I will be fighting the littles for the next hour or so to calm down and get ready for bed.

[Melinda S in TX]

Hannah is sitting up in her hospital chair, munching ice and watching Bear in the Big Blue House. The others are all in bed at home.

[raceNzanesmom]

Right now- 10:30 pm my time, oldest ds is in his room, probably not asleep; youngest ds is asleep and has been for about an hour and half or so. However, when you posted at 7:30'ish we were all watching Thor on DVD (came out today, $1 at Redbox :D).

[tricia]

Good question. But since you asked. It is midnight here and I have 5 little girls camping out watching a movie in their older sisters room. They really should be asleep but how often does one get a sleep over with older sisters!

[Lily_Grace]

It's 7am here. I have one shuffling down the hall to the bathroom and the other trying to feed me a goldfish cracker he found in his block box. Ick!

[chepyl]

Midnight here and the kids have been asleep for an hour. I did the dishes and am relaxing and unwinding. I should be in bed by 1 am.

[iamrachelle]

10:20pm here... both of my angels are sleeping soundly. I'm watching chicken noodle news and contemplating a cupcake.

[Tap]

10:27pm

 

Dd4-asleep

Dd12-in the shower. She is up late doing homework. Just finished. Going to bed.

ds16-on the computer. His college classes don't start for a couple weeks.

[Rosie_0801]

Teenagers in here discussing the injustices of the world.

 

"What are they going to do about it?" she asks unsnarkily.

 

Just wondering because every time my brother and I get together, we come up with a new idea for curing one of the country's problems. :lol: And dh says has decided to start donating to charity, so I was poking around this morning looking for charities that might tickle his fancy.

[KidsHappen]

They are headed out the door to school right now but last night when I first saw this they were hanging out in my office floor where there is really only the physical space for them and the dogs to sit.

[AngieW in Texas]

At 7:24pm last night, my 13yo was playing guitar in her room, my 15yo was on the computer, and my 18yo was in computer science class.

 

Right now (8:09am), my 13yo is still asleep (that's probably a bad thing, indicating that last night was a bad one for sleep), my 15yo is on the computer, and my 18yo is in Topics in Arts&Technology class.

 

Actually my 15yo is the one who is on the computer the least in this house. She can't stand to be in front of a computer or videogame screen for more than about 1.5 hours at a time. She can watch tv for as long as it takes to watch a movie, but then she needs to MOVE. She needs at least 2 hours off after doing anything with a screen before going back to a screen. It actually made things difficult last year because two of the things she did for school were on the computer and she felt like she couldn't get on the computer for fun because she'd already spent too much time in front of a screen.

[LidiyaDawn]

It's 7:40am.. dd14, ds12, and the little newbie are all asleep.

 

Shhhhh. ;)

[abreakfromlife]

My 10 year old is outlining KHW, my 8 yo is getting ready to do FLL 3 with me, my 5 yo is playing Angry Birds, sigh, and my 4 and 3 yo are printing pages out of Dover coloring books and coloring nicely.

[~Tara~]

Right now:

10:16 am

Eldest finishing math by my side, next 2 somewhere in the house doing school...ok, arguing as I type. The girl just left from playing with the pegs with the 3 yr old. The 5 yr old was bashing Mr. Potato Heads together. Baby is sleeping in my room.

[UnsinkableKristen]

Right now all three of my kids are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while we wait for my Dr to call and tell me if we are inducing today (!!) or tomorrow (!!).

 

It's a little nerve racking!

[elfgivas]

its 8:24 am here.

 

dd #4 is doing a webex ancient history lesson with historyatourhouse,

dd #3 is doing latin translation from the cambridge latin course.

dd # 2 (age 25) is likely still asleep in san jose, and

dd #1 (age 27) is at a wedding in japan

 

dh is at work, and i'm visiting with my virtual friends on well trained mind....

 

great question!

ann

[Satori]

We get going late. It's 9:30am here and haven't had breakfast yet.

 

DD6 is playing Pocket Frogs. Before that she was writing a book.

 

DH is in Chile and they just had an earthquake. I told him about the 7.9 one I experienced in Puerto Vallarta in 1995.

 

Next I will make breakfast and then decide whether to work out for an hour or start school.

[Shannanlee]

It is 1135am. My son is doing his grammar lesson. We have literature up next and we are done for the day.

[SweetMissMagnolia]

kiddo went and conned a dollar out of grandpa so he can do a magic trick with the dollar LOL

[JennifersLost]

Hmmm. 6:19 pm here.

 

18 yo ds either doing homework or playing WOW. (I don't look over his shoulder any more now that he's an "adult")

 

16 yo ds and 10 yo dd are washing dinner dishes.

 

14 yo ds is with dad picking apples for an elderly friend of the family!

[lakotajm]

It's 8:25 here.

My two littles are playing Camp Out in the living room. Playing with a candle (I'm in the room), their fire. They have a blanket tent set up so they can spend the night there.

DD 14 went with her grandma today to the "big town" (pop. 20,000) so she can do her Tae Kwon Do and surf the web. Right now she is probably either recording herself playing guitar for YouTube or playing Movie Star Planet. Later, she and grandma and great-grandma will likely watch In Living Colour and then those funny old British guys on the PBS channel.

[Staceyshoe]

It's 9:30pm, and they are both sleeping. AH!:D I'm an early-to-bed kind of gal (usually by 9pm) so I don't often get time to myself after they are in bed.
