Do the Dance

Driving from our house to post these days we pass through two traffic circles. Every time we go through them I glance in the back seat and see both kids with their hands in the air shouti ng “Woohoo!” This is not necessarily a reflection on my driving mind you, but it is a great example of the celebration of the small things.
