Car time

I really don't like driving and I don't like being the passenger.  However, tonight, as my family left a BBQ, my kids were all hyper and wound up.  My first thought was to calm them down.  But then I just started listening.  Evey sang the ENTIRE ride home.  It was at least a 25 minute drive. And the song was made up from her string of thoughts.
Alice sits behind Luke in the car.  Those two have sort of a silly bond. Alice can get him laughing and Luke loves to laugh.  I've had him fake laugh when I laugh just because he wants to join in. So Alice had Luke rolling and Evey was singing and it was loud and sort of crazy.  Once I embraced the noise, it was beautiful. I just wanted to remember that. Just a simple pleasure.
