We indulged in college football and soaked up the very last bursts of sun pouring out from this remarkable summer. Sookie found a potato bug in the driveway, she squealed in delight, our big reminder to always see the joy, even in the smallest moments. Her glee was poignant. I ate it up.
We ventured to Hobby Lobby to surround ourselves with festive fall decor. We managed to find a scarecrow for less than $10 that was an actual, bona fide scarecrow. As in, a crow. He came to live with us, I couldn't resist. An Olivia lunchbox found its way to Sookie's arm, and while I am very careful about what I let her watch, that sassy little pig makes my heart happy. And? The lunchbox proudly proclaims in a celebratory red scripty font, "Every day is a big day."
Who can disagree with that? It is so true.
While the Utes lost, the night was filled with sweet October rain, a vibrant rainbow, and keeping Miss Sookie up way past her bedtime so she could visit and play with family.
