The moon was completely full tonight, and just beautiful. So bright... and I wanted to sit on the porch and just look at it. However, a storm earlier hit a transformer closeby and all of our streetlights are out. They're still out.. have been all evening. This meant the kids didn't want to stay out there.. the dark is spooky to them. Since the moon wasn't yet full in the sky, it was pretty dang eerie out there.
I told them though, girls, this is the magical wish moon tonight.. when it's full like this, we get to make a wish on it. This got their attention and they weren't so interested in going back inside now. They sat there with me, watching the occasional lightning, waiting for the moon to get high enough to make our wishes.
Finally it was time.
Stan wished that the kids would always come visit us.
I wished for Sarah to have the baby safely and for them to be okay.
Mikyla wished to stay little forever.
And Mallory.. Food lovin' Mallory wished for our dogwood tree to be full of apples tomorrow.
*laughs*
So...
While I go with them tomorrow for Mikyla's allergy shots.. Stan's going to go to the produce stand and get a couple of bags of apples, and tie them from their stems into the limbs of the dogwood tree, so Mallory's wish can come true.
When we get back, her little eyes are gonna shine like that moon did tonight. How cool is that?
