Imagine that you are running your midday errands and you look back into your rear view mirror - not to 'evil eye' a tailgater, or to check for a clear lane, but to investigate what type of nonsense must be going on in the backseat of your superhot minivan - as pure silence breaks your train of thought.
It is not usually an auspicious moment when one hears the absence of noise when children are involved.
It is usually grim. Horrific even. Brace yourself for what you are about to behold... Where have their crayons gone? Who is strangling who?
It is not the chuga-lug-lug of rhythmic bickering that gets me. It's the quiet that stops me dead in my tracks.
So I half-winced as I courageously glanced through my special kiddy mirror only to behold...
Two beautiful sleeping angels?
It has never happened. Not until today.
It was befuddling, to say the least.
Never. Not ever. This storybook moment as a mother has always eluded me. Even when my babies were both babies, they never would fall asleep in the car.
Let alone relinquish their consciousness AT THE SAME TIME...
Glory Hallelujah!
It was perfection!
I drove aimlessly for almost an hour.
Poo on $2.89 a gallon!
They were both asleep, during the day, SIMULTANEOUSLY!
SOOOO worth it!

A picture of REAL EARTH ANGELS!
You seriously just drove around for an hour? That's funny.
I would have done...and have done...the same thing. Peace is well worth the gas.
I'm glad you got some quite time. Those are some sweet kiddios.
Classic! and What's better? You have the picture to prove that miracles do happen.
