The Dance

Funny and super sweet moment happened in our house tonight while I was cooking dinner. Both the boys love to listen to music on the ipod through one of our blue tooth speakers. Tonight Luke asked if he could listen to music in his room and of course I said YES!

Music in his room meant he WOULD NOT be under my feet telling me he was bored or in his brothers face poking him in the eye. The music started out as it always does.......

REALLY LOUD Metallica.... Picture "Enter Sandman".

The loud music is usually followed by the sounds of things slamming the wall. Honestly, I have no idea what goes on because no mother in their right mind walks down the hall when the child is leaving you alone, entertained, while you are cooking dinner. If there is no crying I am NOT walking down the hall.....

A little while in..... Doug gets home from work and we are standing as we always do, debriefing in the kitchen....
When we hear a ballad come on the speaker..... The ballad begins to walk down the hall and as it get closer we realize it is one of our favorite songs....

Look At Me, Carrie Underwood.

We both look toward the hallway and there we see Luke.... well actually, Luke's arm....Holding the speaker up like a 1980's boom box pointed at us.

We both start to smile,
Doug: Do you want to dance with mom?
Luke: NO! You!

So Doug and I begin to dance in the kitchen as per Luke's request....

Luke: Jake! Look! Look they are dancing....
Jake: He actually looked up from Teen Titans and smiled...

Next thing I know Luke has my phone and snaps this picture....

Tonight Luke wanted to watch his mom and dad dance...

So dance we did.......
In the kitchen, in my PJ pants.

A little romance this mama needed on a Wednesday, Thanks to Luke!
