The Little Things

It doesn't take much for an 9 year old boy and a 6 year old little girl to have their day made. Today, it took a surprise trip Mommy made to Target.

For Ben - the new Mega Blocks Halo 2 Collectors Edition finally hit the shelves and I have to admit...I couldn't wait to get home and show it to him. His reaction was more than I'd hoped for. I think I've heard, "Thank you! I love you!" a million times already.

For Belle - a full length mirror. You know, the cheapo kind you can hang on the back of a door (but she's chosen to go on her wall). She's been wanting to see her "whole self" as she puts it, for awhile now and tonight she can. And I'm thrilled for her. I can hear her dancing around upstairs right now.

Obviously it doesn't take much for a mommy's day to be made either. Precious moments.

I haven't forgotten about the dogs. They're getting ready to get some wet food mixed in with their dry food. Unfortunately, wet will be the theme once again as they go outside. Yep, the tropical depression that's been hanging around for about 4 days now and then graciously went away yesterday is now back. The dogs HATE the rain!

Oh well...at least I've got two content kids. For now.
