I’m happy to share that today has been significantly better than yesterday! After a rocky morning and afternoon, yesterday evening proved to be even worse 🙁 It was just a bad, bad day. However, the kids were down at 7:30 and I had pumpkin chocolate chip cookie batter whipped up by 8:00. Brady hung out with me and helped me judge the new recipe and when it was time to take them out, and therefore, we not only satisfied a nesting urge I’ve had for a few days now, but also resulted in fresh cookies for the bath! Win all around 🙂
This morning, I got the kids up, fed, dressed, and we headed out for Grandmas house! We just went for a couple of hours, but it was sooo great! My moms just been running and running and I fee like we see her so much less often than we used to, and I know the kids miss her. So we got some good grandma time in for a bit, and then had lunch with her. It was also a great way to break the day up a bit. She came out to the van with us to pack everyone in, and that always helps the transition of leaving go a lot smoother.
Upon arrival home, I quickly cleaned out the dishwasher and loaded the few breakfast dishes into it, and it was nap time!!! Sadly, Laela napped during the last ten minutes of the drive, so she’s not too tired but they’re both in their room and they’re fading. I am also resting and fading, and reeeaaally hoping they can fall asleep. But don’t think I don’t see your feet poking through the bars of your crib Laela, or that I don’t hear you giggling, Dekker! I know you guys better than you think. Little punks.
Bradys not expecting to work too late tonight so hopefully we’ll have an evening of either complete relaxation, which hasn’t happened in a while, or we’ll maybe even get some stuff done! I’m good either way.
