Family sings the "The Family" (CS 194).
Kids so hyper Nathan tells them to go outside and get their screams out.
Parents close eyes and enjoy the silence for a 27.6 short seconds.
Kids clomp back in, anxious to get started.
And then Mason goes happy-berserk and starts doing weird somersault jumps off the Elmo chair and accidently drools spit streams everywhere. We laugh. And then belly laugh. And then tears-streaming-down-the-face-laugh-hysterically-until-we-don't-know-why-we-are-laughing-anymore.
20 minutes have passed and it was the best FHE ever. And we hadn't even said the opening prayer yet. :)
