I mentioned a few posts back that Sage, along with what appears to be every other kid in America, has a new found love for Smurfs since the release of the movie. Really, it was her and "every other kid in America's" introduction to them, and I guess they appealed to them just like they did to us. I also mentioned that I scoured McDonalds across 3 states (And I HATE McDonalds!) to find Smurfette (she was super cute) with no luck. I'd even see McDonalds' commercials advertising that they had Smurfs, and at the end which one do you think the girl was holding? --Yep. Smurfette. It's like they were taunting me.
Kevin and I were talking about it while we were in Kentucky, and Sage proudly showed him her stuffed Smurfette. Kevin and I both discovered we had both been playing the smurf game on our iphones (don't hate!) and reminisced on our lovely childhoods. Well, just a few short days later after we were back home, he called me. He went to a McDonalds in Indiana, where he lives and works, on a hunt for what I pretty much thought was a waste of time at that point. But no! He not only found Smurfette, but Papa Smurf and 2 others. I thought that was so cool. He works for Fedex and because he delivers to them, they were very accommodating to him and brought out all they had to find it. HOW they still had it though, I have no idea. I had one happy girl today when they arrived though.
She didn't know what I called her upstairs to see.

And there they were. (Note a favorite shoe brand of mine, if ya see some you ever want to get for me.) How cute are they?? Told you Smurfette was cute.
She was SO happy. Those were the 2 she had been wanting the most.
Cute, cute
As if it wasn't sweet enough for Kevin to do what he did (he searched quite a bit to make sure he could get all that he could), he also drew her a picture.
Isn't that fun? She immediately hung it up on the refrigerator. :)
He drew that in about 5 minutes, I'm sure. I grew up with that, by the way. He has drawn like that, sculpted, painted, won contests, built WHATEVER prop or set for plays since he was a child. My drawings still look like I just came out of kindergarten. This is another reason why, even though I can't even begin to draw or do anything artsy, I'm very unimpressed by others' "so called" great art.
Let's not leave this guy out. "Shmurr," as he calls them. :) Thank you so much, Kevin. Fights were being had over them in less than four minutes after distribution! :) Seriously, though, thank you!
