It was SO FUN for me to share our news with you guys yesterday!!! The amount of love and excitement you all sent out way felt amazing! It was fun to be excited with just my family for a bit, but being able to make our news public just made it so much more real!! I think maybe it made it more real to some of you, too. Its exciting for me to picture our family this way, knowing just that much more about the newest member. A little girly! YES!!
I’m feeling a lot lighter after yesterday 🙂 Reading all the comments, messages, and texts has been so fun, and I woke up excited and energized! Despite the brutal cold, we opted for an errand day with the fam!
They are so stinking cute, and were such good sports. I felt in good spirits, and they seemed to feel the same. We rolled through Costco and Home Depot all together for groceries and a few little things for Brady’s work. (A side note for parents, if this year is anything close to last year’s baby event at Costco, its coming up! Wipes are on sale right now, and if it follows the same pattern as last year, diapers, genie refills, and formula won’t be far behind! Keep your eyes open!!)
I did a quick duck in at Dollar Tree and was SO happy to find they had kids toothpaste on hand! I bought a new one to try (Aquafresh) from Dollarama the other day, and the kids love it. I just find it annoying that Dollarama sells things for more now, and I paid $2.50 for it. May as well just get them from the grocery store at that price. But I found the exact same kind at Dollar Tree for $1.25! So I bought an embarrassing amount of them (I have a new toothbrush drawer plan, don’t judge me) along with several hand sanitizers (we always need these, and again, cheaper there) and some plastic baskets for organizing some bathroom stuff. I walked out with three big bags of stuff for less than $20. Awesome!!
We grabbed lunch next and took a little break while Brady and I made a few more plans. I had an appointment to get the shaved side of my hair redone, so Brady dropped me at the mall a little early so I could look around a little before my appointment, and he took the kids to Walmart and got a few necessities (specifically, bananas, and a new curtain rod for the one the kids accidentally broke off the wall. *face palm*) Meanwhile, I wandered into Thyme Maternity and discovered they were offering an extra 70% off of items already in clearance! I bought a beautiful sweater to finish out winter, and a cute tank top to welcome the heat!! Once again, I only dropped $20.
My hair appointment went well, as usual. I have a beautiful feather shaved into my hair, and my lovely hair girl curled up the rest and threw a cute braid into it, just because she’s awesome and always leaves me looking put together when I leave. I met back up with my family right afterwards, and decided to call it after that. Solly was just droopy and screamy and it was time to get him either sleeping in the van or at home. Whichever came first.
Sleeping in the van came first, but the tears came instantly when we pulled into the garage, so straight to bed he went. The other kids are happily taking a tv break, Brady is starting to replace the curtain rod, and once I’m done this, I’m going to start organizing the kids bathroom a little better. Productive but low pressure is my favorite way to do a day 🙂
We’ve gotten things done, we’re still getting stuff done, and I’m in FULL daydream mode! Things feel light today. Even that biting wind didn’t touch me today.
