Wahoo!

Every now and then I will do something that is deemed "cool" by my otherwise eye-rolling kids. Today was one of those days. On Mondays, while the kids are in gymnastics, I usually sit in the van with the windows rolled down, saturated in a good book. I love that little time of peace and quiet while my boys burn off some of their abundant energy. I could be a good Mom and sit up in the mind-blistering heat near the ceiling of the gym (which is where they so kindly have the risers placed for our viewing pleasure), but I usually pass.
So anyway, I decided to give the boys a blast from the past and ride home with the windows rolled down. These air-conditioned kids didn't know what hit them! They were whooping and hollering like they were in a lost episode of The Dukes of Hazard. If nothing else, I am sure we sounded like the Clampetts coming around the corner. It was hilarious to listen to them giggle and laugh and see their hair all wind-blown. Of course, always armed with my camera, I snapped a picture so that you could see what I was seeing...LOL!

Have a great day everyone!

(hanging head in shame) ~yes~
BUT, I was looking at the road when I snapped it. I took 3 *while looking at the road* and this was the only one where he was centered...LOL!

I could always use a few extra Cool-Mom points so we'll try the windows down thing and see if my kids are as impressed as yours.

And, i know this is a vain question but....what about your hair? I can't stand having my hair blow up my nose and all over my face.
