Birthdays and Shopping and Getting Ready for Winter

We headed into the city for errands today.

There was a decent amount of running around involved, looking for specific things for Laela’s birthday gifts. Did you know she turns three in FIVE DAYS?! My goodness, suddenly they’re all aging and I’m not ready!

I found what I was looking for (for the most part) and then we did some extra running around for groceries in general. We prefer certain things from certain places, so grocery shopping has us in and out of a small handful of places. I wish we could get it all at one place, haha! But no dice. One thing we really want to get our hands on is outdoor Christmas lights! Call us crazy, but we’d like to put some up sooner than later to avoid the tedious work with ice on the roof. If anyone has seen any great deals, please let me know! We would love to just know where to go without having to check a bunch of places out. We’ll do some measuring and research and hopefully get some soon.

At Costco, I bought a new winter jacket. I’ve had the same winter jacket since before Brady and I were dating. So a LONG time. Yes, I have a fairly newish maternity winter coat, but as I am NOT pregnant, it wouldn’t fit especially well. It was time for a new one, and I actually really love the one I got! Win for me!

I was wearing Solly through Costco. We’ve been thinking he’s been teething for a while, but today it was just so very obvious as he chomped on his hands, drooled, and cried and cried. So we gave him some Tylenol and I rocked him in the ergo. I was SO sad when our Costco shop was over, because he was fast asleep. I felt bad pulling him out of the carrier and plunking him into his seat, but he was suddenly SUPER away and sooooo cute and happy!

We got home later in the day than we expected, and the kids were actually telling us they were tired, which almost never happens. The kids had a yummy, easy, light supper, and they went to bed without any fuss whatsoever. Brady and I are now wracking our brains to think of what to eat for supper. I’m not sure why we’re all so wiped but it is a common thread this evening around here.

I hope you all had a successful day to wrap up the weekend with!
