Nowadays, it’s rare for me to see my three oldest children getting along, while doing the same activity. So you can bet that I took pictures when I saw them peacefully coloring together the other day. Although they were using bright colors, I like to remember the moment as “peaceful colors,” because that’s what the moment was – coloring had brought peace, for a time.

They are ages 5, 7, and almost 12, yet they got along for a beautiful, peaceful 10 minutes. There was no noise. They shared markers. There was no yelling. There was no arguing. What else could a mom ask for? (Maybe another 10 minutes? Nah. I don’t wanna push my luck.)

What a lovely scene. They all seen very focused on their art.
Yep. I think they all had their own “vision” as to the finished product. LOL.
Awww Love it! They seem so determined. On a side note I still enjoy coloring 🙂
They were really focused! And I still color too!
Very nice. I bet it was bliss for those ten minutes. I remember when mine got along for five minutes. I loved it.
You got it! It was heaven! 🙂
I love seeing children getting along. Thanks for linking up for Wordless Wednesday. Have a terrific weekend!
Thank you. I wish they got along more often than not! 🙂
Colouring is rather a peaceful activity though, isn’t it? My eldest at 12 won’t really colour anymore – unless it’s comic panels that his friend has drawn; which is way cool in of itself. But my girls will colour on any scrap piece of paper they can find. I have little notes from them all over the place. Ha.
It is peaceful, true. But sometimes I worry when they’re too quiet, you know? They color on everything that’s white. Haha.
How fun! My kids would love those too! 🙂
They’re cheap and fun. That’s why I love them. Win, win! 😉
