Brady went to a conference today, so I was without my partner in crime. Which I am often enough during the day, but it always feels different on Saturdays. Thankfully, I had made some afternoon plans with my parents to help the day go by just a little bit faster.
Laela added a fun twist by waking up with a fever. Honestly, I didn’t even check her temperature, but she was hot and lethargic, with visible beads of sweat on her little nose and forehead. Her hairline was soaked and she was pretty limp. Poor dear. I still took the plunge, put her in panties, and tucked her in on the couch. Within a half hour, she asked for breakfast, and from there, the day was normal!
She went from this…
to this!…
in LESS THAN AN HOUR! She’s gorgeous in both pictures, though. I am still baffled how she looks so beautiful even when she’s sick. Crazy girl.
My parents had been out for the morning but called once they were home, and I loaded the kids up and headed over for the day. I visited for a little bit before ducking out to have the side of my head reshaved and designed. I do it every 2-3 weeks, and its such a fun thing to anticipate. It was also a fun little outing for me, and some special time with grandma and grandpa. I blasted my music and drank Starbucks while half of my kids napped and the other half played outside. It was a really nice afternoon.
I got home around 3:30 ish, and Brady’s conference ended at 4:00, so he was home shortly afterwards. It was nice to be all together. We stayed at my parents and ate my moms delicious homemade pizza for supper. I haven’t had it in a while and man it was good today!! Like it really hit the spot. Amazing meal, mom!
But as things tend to go, my little crew faded pretty quickly. Noses ran a bit more, and tempers ran a bit high as well. Lots of eye rubs and crying lead us to tidy up and head home. And then we bathed them, which they were less than thrilled about. Its been a bit of a long evening here, but its only 8:15 so I shouldn’t complain, I know.
Tomorrow, we’re helping lead worship at church, so we have to be adults and get up, haha! So consider us signed off for the night. We are old and tired!
