Once In a While...

Every once in a while, we (Derrick and I) do something really smart as parents! It's only every now and again, but I think it would take the fun out of it if we were smart parents all the time! I mean, where's the surprise element in that? Since we started rearranging the house to make room for the Swaner Seven, we had a dilemma...where could we put the piano? We've always kept it in the office (now Myah's room) where it could be heard but not seen. It's really very ugly, but what more could we expect from a hundred dollar piano? But it serves it's purpose. So our genius idea...let's swallow our pride, and put the piano in the living room, right where we spend the majority of our time! And the craziest thing has happened...our kids actually PLAY the piano, all the time! To make it even better, we relocated the WII to the basement. Last week, our family time was centered around NBA 08...this week, it's centered around 'Book of Mormon Stories' (courtesy of Zac) and 'In Dreams' (from Lord of the Rings, courtesy of Skyler), and 'Brother John' (courtesy of Tannon). Now what could be better than that? Sometimes, we really do impress ourseves...but only once in a while!
