Little things

Sometimes, late at night, after the mess makers in the house go to sleep is when I have time to notice little bits and pieces that show that they were here.

Like, tonight. I was putting on my jammies. We have a lil' walk in closet. It's big enough to store some household things, ironing board, iron and the vacuum. Oli vacuums up her popcorn and craft messes now. So, today, she vacuumed up her popcorn mess.

And as I was digging in the drawers for my jammies I noticed that the vacuum was in the area it was supposed to be. But it was facing the wrong way. And it wasn't tucked in the lil' nook that it usually is.

And I smiled.

And I went to her room and saw her snoring softly in her top bunk and I whispered thank you.

Those little things just make me love her to pieces. And I am so thankful that she is here making me smile.
