We had a nice relaxing day here at home. Did some dishes, played with the kids, Solly slept a ton, put some chicken in the slow cooker for an easy supper, and began organizing the whole mess of products we have towards the end of the afternoon. It was really really nice.
Once Brady was home, pretty much all of the kids joined the party in our en suite while Brady washed up and I sorted and planned and organized. As it got closer to supper time, I pulled up a chair and asked Dekker to help me. He dumped the last ingredient into the crock pot, and he and Laela took turns stirring it up. I have learned that including Dekker in the task at hand makes him much more inclined to cooperate later on. We just made a really easy, cheesy chicken on rice for supper. There is nothing to it, and its SO yummy. But its all stirred together, and Dekker liked his food plain and separated, if possible. He always fights this meal. And today, he ate it proudly! Two servings even. It was awesome! I’m so glad I’ve figured out how much pride he takes in his work. He’s so much like his dad.
Jerilee made it here towards the end of the kids supper, so she was part of bedtime this evening. Dishes were put away, toys were tidied, hugs and kisses given out, and everyone was down! Once it was quiet-ish, we grabbed ourselves some chicken and rice, and settled in for this weeks episode of the Bachelorette. We are so on the ball this time around, and only had the one episode to watch. We’re historically 2-3 episodes behind. So we ate, watched, and then had a nice visit afterwards before calling it a night. Jerilee leads a super busy life, and I always feel behind in what she’s up to, so today was great to finally hear about what is going on!!
As I type this, I know Brady is fading beside me, so thats all you get for tonight! Sleep deep, all! Tomorrow is Friiiiidaaaaay!!!
