So, the birthday was a big hit. Squirt was very pleased with the attention she received. I took her little sister, our 4 year old, with me to buy her another card and few more birthday goodies. Lil' sis decided they needed fish. I think this was brought on by all the people that won goldfish at our county fair last week. She picked out the fish, rocks, and tanks. We went with Bettas, they are so pretty. So of course, little bit picked out the closest to pink she could, which was maroon. Thought she had named it Hokie, but she's called it Virginia all day, so it may have split personalities. But he has pastel jewels and a few lime green, glow in the dark rocks. Her sisters is turquoise, the closest she could find to lime green without venturing into "puke green" territory. Black and lime green rocks.
So why all these details? Last night, Squirt's facebook post was that she got a fish. No, she didn't mention the more planned, carefully pre-purchased and selected items. It was her sister's last minute gift idea that stuck out in her mind. And the fact that her little sister put such thought into it made it even more special.
This post could go on and on... I had originally planned to make a list of all the simple things that make me smile. Maybe a photo post someday. Wouldn't that be cool? An album of all the simple things that make you smile? Bring it out on rainy, bad days, and shine on! Challenge you to do it!
