NBR - What makes you smile?

in April 2014 Moms
This has been a really tough week for me.  Between family drama and a school shooting today less than 5 miles away from my house, I'm feeling pretty shaken up.  (As a little background, school shootings are big triggers for me because of my connections to Columbine High School in 1999.)

So, I was thinking, how do you all feel about doing something fun.  Something to make us laugh, maybe.

Would you be willing to post (words, pictures, or gifs) of what is making you smile today?

I'll start!  This little packet of deliciousness is exactly what I need right now:

    My dd came running to greet me at the door this evening. And then announced with urgency that daddy was pouring me juice... I'd love to know what goes on in her head.

    I live in a small town. They have a free holiday festival every year that we just got home from. They light up a park with lights and have ice carving demonstrations, sleigh rides, reindeer and Santa, and free goodies (pizza, chili, popcorn, cookies, doughnuts, cider, coffee, cocoa...).  The area kids do dance performances and sing and have band concerts in the park and the surrounding churches.  Things like this always restore my faith in humanity a little.

    So sorry about your day.

    My daughter always knows how to make me smile. I was putting dishes away and she ran into the kitchen giggling and screaming "Mommy I just fluffed!"

    It's the little things :)

    @Acers - Thank you!  I am very grateful that the causalities have been low today.  I'm definitely feeling for the students there though.  As a tutor, I have a lot of students that go to that school that are going to be dealing with the residual affect for a while.  I'm just sending them lots of love right now.  I can't see the picture, but I'll check another browser to see if I can get it to work.

    @MrsStanton87 - What a fun tradition!  And a burger sounds amazing!

    @ksulli & @kseccomb17 - I love the kiddo smiles!  :)

    @janice9821 - The festival sounds like so much fun!  Does it go on all weekend or just tonight?

    @RubiksElf - It's just tonight.  Some of the other surrounding small towns do their own similar things at different times, though. Two towns over where I work they did something similar last weekend.

    So sorry to hear about your experience with shooting.

    I just so happen to be watching a cnn coverage about Sandy Hook and I was totally in tears. I have so much respect for those parents and anyone who's ever went through this type of experience.

    The only thing that cheered me up after was Ice Cream! I know, it's small but I've become a total ice cream person and its the small things that counts. The thought alone of it makes me smile.

    Hope you feel better.
