Simple Joys

Today I - finally - got Kaia some new crayons. She was using a very sad set of broken, and melted together, paperless, scrapes of wax. She was only down to 4 colors - yellow, orange, purple, and red - and I was getting very tired of coloring w/ her when that was all the selection I had to choose from. So this morning when I was out I  made sure to stop and get a whole, new set of crayola crayons. 

 
She not only met me @ the door 
'New crayons?'
But continued to say 
'Thank you mommy, thank you daddy' 
all day for her new crayons. So sad - that this was what mad her whole day. 
Not going to park as a family, not playing w/ daddy on his day off, but a $3 box of crayons. 
Simple joys of being a child. . . . priceless
