I had a very strange, anxious, difficult night last night, and I woke up feeling a little bit under the weather. However, I was so thrilled to have Brady home today, and to be having Kim and her kids over for the day! It was a pick me up after my unpleasant night! I don’t remember the last time their crew made their way out here for a playdate that wasn’t related to a birthday party! Things just keep coming up. Sickness, weather, you name it, its interfered with our plans. But today was in stone! Despite my crappy night and her youngest sons MAD teething and their super early morning, we were determined.
I’m glad we were. It was so nice to just be in each others space, and get caught up in visiting. The kids were great, and pretty much entertained themselves and each other. They played with those Wendys links and Duplo, and watched some Chuggington and Paw Patrol. We ate a yummy lunch and kept the conversation moving. But it was finally time, after her three year old passed out on the couch, for them to haul out and head home.
I’ll admit that I fell asleep on the recliner not too long after they left, but not because they were a handful or anything. My restless night just caught up with me and I dozed a little bit. As we occasionally do, we opted to feed the kids and just eat after they go to bed. Dekker ate like a champ, but Laela didn’t eat too much. Rowan had roughly half an egg, which is great for him! He really enjoyed it today. But the kids were trashed incredibly early, and at 6:30, they’re already tucked away for the night. Hopefully they use the early bedtime to their advantage and have good long rests. I sure plan to use it to my advantage and sleep better tonight!
First, though, supper with Brady. I’m hungry.
