what makes a girl happy?

for Elle, it's wearing a skirt every single day. Kev wanted her to wear these little knickers today and she would not have anything to do with it. She begged and pleaded until she won her way to a cute jean dress.

for Ryn, it's doing anything BUT going and looking at houses all day, which is how we've spent the past several Wednesdays. Poor girl. All she wanted to do was work on her fairy tale that she's writing.

for Eden, today it was playing hide and seek in the dark before bedtime with Ryn, Elle and I. Holding the flashlight to find the hiders, counting to 20 (you know--one, two, tree, fow, five, sirteen, sirteen, twenty!) with her eyes half-closed.

for me, it's seeing Kevin excited about his dreams and hearing him talk about them down to the tiniest details. Keep dreaming, love. Sing with me......

There's that star, the one they said we'd never reach
And just close your eyes
There's the missing moon, there's the Milky Way
Heaven's straight ahead, we'll be there today
Rainbows right and left, sunshine everywhere
If it couldn't be baby, how did we get here

Some say we'll never get if off the ground
Some say we'll never make it out of town
That someday we'll end up a world apart
And some say we're a couple of crazy kids
And some say that's exactly what they did
And I say you got to go with your heart
And baby, look where we are

There's that home, the one they said we'd never share
And just close your eyes
There's the picket fence, there's our mailbox
Puppy on the porch and roses up the walk
Shinny minivan, kids in every seat :)
Someday we'll look back and see it wasn't just a dream

And baby, look where we are....
