Too Good to be True...

Do you ever have those moments where you just KNOW they're too good to be true??? The past few days, we've had a rare situation repeat itself... rare, but SOOO nice! Kailee, after a few minutes of sitting in her car seat (going anywhere-no where in particular) will say, "Let's play the quiet game!" Becky and I will OF COURSE agree and play along. We count down, "Three, two, one..." and then the kids proceed to blow their cheeks up full of air, and stop talking... Either Bec or I are usually the first to break the silence by saying, " I think the kids are going to win!" Then pretend we didn't mean to loose the game-which makes them even more excited that they're gonna beat mom and dad. All-in-all, it only lasts a few minutes. But those are precious QUIET moments in the car. Too good to be true? Maybe.  But for now-they're true... and we'll soak up the moments-while they last.

Tylie's expression says, "what the heck are you doing?"

Hummm...the quiet game. Why haven't I thought of it yet. You can bet I'll start using it.
