Car Opera

This weekend we took one of our patented long drives into the countryside. It is so nice when the twins fall asleep!

We ended up driving out past the Antietam Battlefield again, through Sharpsburg and Shepardstown and back home.

The kids slept most of the way out until we had lunch at a diner near Sharpsburg. After lunch the kids talked most of the way home. They also treated us to a mini opera. The subject, as far as there was one, had to do with Adam taking his shoes off:

TESSA (singing)
Adam, don't take your shoes off, your shoes off!

ADAM (also singing)
I can take my shoes off
If I want to!

TESSA
Don't do it!
Mommy said nooooooo!

ADAM
I just took my shoe off!
That's one! One!

Quite entertaining, for the first half-hour at least.
