The Oscar Star

Yesterday Emma pointed out that this would be our last week in the house.  Tonight was their last Friday.  So I guess we're in that kind of a mood.

Tonight when I put them to bed Oscar asked if I had taken down "The Oscar Star."

I barely remembered what he was talking about.  Sometime around 2010, if I remember correctly, I picked up souvenirs for the kids on my way back from a conference in Lake Tahoe, including glow-in-the dark stars.

I counted them out and put up the same constellations in each of their rooms: big and little dippers, Orion, Cassiopeia, the North Star.

There was one extra star.  "The Oscar Star," I told him, as I put it up near the window.  Neither of us has mentioned it in the past 5 years.  I wonder what else he'll miss about this house.
