It's too quiet...

It was Saturday night and the kids had just taken their baths. I was rocking Ivy in the front room when I realized it had gone quiet, and panic set in. Anyone with small children can testify about the gravity of this situation. We're talking code blue...as in scissors cutting siblings hair and wedding dresses, marker on the baby's face, real water filling the fake plastic kitchen sink in the kid's bedroom panic. But nothing could have prepared me for what I found when I opened the kids' bedroom door...















Yes, aliens have abducted my children and replaced them with these copies that, by themselves, went and found PJs, beds, and books, and set to quietly reading in the dusky twilight. If you see the actual Bryn and Calvin streaking naked through the streets of America (with scissors in their hands), tell them we love them and will (sort of) miss them.
