I was planning on staying home and having a lazy jammie day with the family, and I did that for the morning. Until the crazy realization came to me that Dekker turns three in four days!!!!! My goodness! Crazy, right? I have almost all of his presents together, but was hoping for one more thing. So Brady suggested I take the afternoon to myself and go to the city to accomplish some of the stuff we need done. Since I was actually getting dressed and partially put together, we took my first belly pic.
Ugh. I don’t know whats up with my phone but all of a sudden, the pictures are tiny and crappy quality, and I didn’t change a thing! What the heck?!?!
I went to a bunch of different places, looking for a few specific things for both Laela and Dekker, and was moderately successful. i can honestly say that Target is a bust. I was sooo hoping for good things when they came here, but I really just wasn’t impressed with anything I saw there. But I had a bit of success at Walmart, and Superstore. I bought myself some maternity clothes at Old Navy, since they finally got some new jeans. I haven’t been able to find my size the last few times I’ve looked, but the mat jeans shelf was stocked well, and I found exactly what I was looking for, plus some tank tops on a really good sale. Win! I bought some groceries, but of course forgot apples, which are a daily requirement around here. But I got pretty much everything else. I stopped at Costco on my way home and grabbed all our essentials, plus sleepers, because how could I not?, and then headed home.
I was pretty tired upon arrival, but the kids were just getting up and were pretty cute and low key. I lay on the couch, and Dekker pulled up a chair and brushed Laelas hair while she drank her bottle. It was completely adorable.
He’s pretty focused, as you can see. It was so cute! And yes, he is in a diaper and rubber boots. He’s funny that way.
We ate perogies and wings for supper, and spend the last hourish downstairs. The kidlets were tired and really acting that way, so we turned on the end of a movie and cuddled. It was nice and quiet and low key. I loved it.
The littles were good and tucked in just shortly after 7:30, and now Brady and I are going through our evening routine. I blog, he makes his lunch, we run a bath, etc. Usually we check and water the garden but it rained quite a bit yesterday and has been spitting on and off all day, so I think we’re good for tonight. Tomorrow will be the quiet day I was planning on having today, and I’m really looking forward to it. I know some people would be bored to be me, but I love our quiet days and our low-stress activities. Especially now when I’m low on energy and have been feeling so dizzy. These are the days to take a load off.
