make a joyful noise

On a normal day, I try to let them make noise. Sing, be boisterous, be toddlers and four-year-olds, ask questions, narrate our existance, etc, etc.
But today, headache, fever, congestion, I just needed them to be quiet. And they weren't. Of course. But now everyone is in bed, and the house is silent.
Bliss.
Also: ibuprofen.
and bed.
