It was a day of work and play today. Both. A healthy balance.
Cher and I coffeed in the morning, and then Cher worked on Laelas hair while I kept laundry moving.
At lunch, the kids ate and settled in for quiet time, and the two of us ladies went downstairs to watch Bridesmaids, eat pancakes, colour, and crochet.
Post-naps, laundry and braids continued, and I packed the kids clothes for this coming weekend. I sent Brady a grocery list and he happily agreed to pick it up. He also called in some prescriptions to fill.
Brady came home from work with all the groceries, and a new work hat and shirt, looking so fly 😍goodness I’m proud of him! He LOVES his job!
The kids helped put groceries away, and I cooked up the gourmet meal of Kraft dinner 😆 (feels important to add that autocorrect changed “gourmet” to “garbage.”) I am so fortunate to have a family who is HAPPY to have a big pot of macaroni with some salty toppings on it once in a while. I know it’s not good for us, but it’s a good treat and a super easy supper. Everyone was happy.
Now, as the day winds up, Dekker is doing dishes, Cher is finishing up Laelas braids, and the others are playing.
Laundry is done for the day, and kids clothes are packed. Tomorrow will be adults clothes and getting veggies chopped. Tomorrow is also my birthday date! Friday will be loading the van up and Brady has a doctors appointment in the morning.
Lots of lead up to the weekend, but it’s always worth it!
