The Little Things

I find myself already saying “Remember when things were easy like….”.  Laura is only 4 1/2!  I shouldn’t be saying that already!  I know that I’ll say it even more as she gets older.  As a result, I want to chronicle the simple things today that brought so much joy.  The day started great.  Laura and I made blueberry muffins for breakfast.  She thought it was the best.  I was the best mommy to her at that point, and it was only 6:30am!  During our lunch break, Robert and I ran to Shopko to pick up a new booster seat for Laura, since she really was getting a bit big for her Britax.  We found the Megan Fashion one for her.  This couldn’t have been better since she was asking for a pink one, plus it was on sale (a bonus for Mom & Dad!).  She was super excited when we picked her up from daycare and saw it in her spot.  The look of shock/amazement/joy was so perfect.  The day continued to improve.  When we got home there were two items in the mail for the kids.  Grandma Dorothy sent the kids a package (book for Warren, light-up princess necklace for Laura).  Grandma Kathy sent the kids a card with a few dollars.  These few dollars gave Laura enough money for her to buy the Leap Pad game she’s been wanting.  To top the evening off, we’ve had popcorn plus a movie.  The kids are even having a picnic on the living room floor.

So in short, today has been a day of joy for our family.  I treasure these days and hope to remember them during the difficult times (we all know that there will be some at some point).
