100 Word Challenge – Blend

October 9, 2008 at 3:47 am (Uncategorized)

Velvet Verbosity brings us the 100 word challenge. This week’s word is “blend”.

Music fills the house and the walls reverberate with laughter. In the back room the boys play off each other, encouraging each to higher levels of silliness. She soaks in the chaos as the giggles intensify until the boys are bent double with their own hilarity. She smiles over their heads at the ringleader, nodding at the clock. Reluctantly he switches back to adult mode and herds the younger ones to bed before returning to wrap his arms around her. Contently they listen to whispers and muffled giggles seep through the door from their blended family and know they’re blessed.
