Mom had sparklers and it was fun to see the "magic" come alive in all the kids as they giggled with delight watching the sparklers. Then we put glow sticks in the pool with them and it never ceases to amaze me how content and happy children are with such simple things. I think as we age we loose that and it is something I wish I could capture and hold tight because I think it is one of the keys of true happiness. I am always grateful though when I get to view these experiences through the innocent eyes of my children. That in itself is one of the very best things about being a mother. I have come to enjoy that more in the last year than I ever have in the past as I have been able to just be a mother. It also makes me extremely grateful for my own mother who created that "magic" for me and my sibblings and carries it over to her grandchildren.
