so, i sent my girls to go brush their teeth before bed. fairly regular thing, but not always. if and when they do go brush before bed they always come back into the main part of the house so we can smell their breath [i think it's gross regardless of how clean their teeth are or smell, so i always blow air out my nose, not in. shh. please don't tell my secret, none of them have figured it out yet.] anyway, tonight they came out... only phoenix, toothbrush still in hand, asked me to smell and the other two got ready for 'something'.....giggling and excited holding 'something' behind their backs as they prepared. then, out came the toothbrushes from behind as microphones and i was serenaded, by all three.

they sang chicagos 'you're the inspiration'.

could it have been any better?

oh yes it could.

then we went into the bedroom, danced and sang at the top of our lungs together, crawled under the covers, finished a boxcar mystery by light of my head lamp and fell asleep.

[well, not me, i'm here sharing the nice night with you.]
