Subway is not a place w/4 kiddos, but they had a fab time, despite. The movie was put on once we were settled at home, but the real show was beforehand in the driveway looking up at the stars!!!!!
I forgot to turn on the light when we left, but that mistake became a surprise gift! There we were, in our driveway, all looking up at a ton of brilliant stars! The kids were all happy, chatting to each other. I know ... happy, no arguments!
My lil' girl didn't know what we were looking at and played along. I turned her head up to look and whispered, "Stars." She replied w/a face as bright as the stars. In a stunned voice she said, "Oooooo!"
We can't plan for those moments. I tried to plan the whole day w/activities that were supposed to accomplish that 'oooo' moment.
It happens in an instant, all on its own, when you stop to look at the stars.

Beautiful! Sometimes the best experiences are the little gifts that God provides such as a starry night and a child's delight!
