Brady has a nice light week this week, so we’ve had him home yesterday and today. Tomorrow he’s back to work but we used our last day together to take care of some errands as a family. But first, we put the kids each in new jeans, and they all fit PERFECT! This almost never happens, and I am so happy when it does! Laela has never had jeans that fit so well that are actually jeans and not jeggings. She and Rowan actually wear the same size of pants now, haha! So funny!
Once out the door, we went out for lunch, which the kids always love. We were going to head straight to Superstore after that, but I remembered that I actually needed to go in for a blood test! Oops! I got the requisition last week but with my tetanus shot, I didn’t want my already sore arm to suffer more than necessary all at once. After checking the wait times and seeing that the clinic just a block or so away had no wait time, we ran over there to take care of it really quickly. When we got to the clinic, I was about to duck in quickly by myself when Dekker asked if he could come in and help me. I remember telling him I’d love to bring him next time, to help me be brave, so I agreed! And honestly, he did awesome! The nurse didn’t look thrilled that I had brought him, but I said to her (for him to hear, of course) that he had been SO brave when he got a needle recently and that I wanted him to help me be as brave as him. She understood, and asked him if I was brave. He responded with “Sometimes” so that was that, and he stayed. He held my hand and watched the whole time. Wasn’t put off at all! He was a great help and distraction. Love that boy.
After that, we did Superstore, a quick and unsuccessful duck into both Walmart and Rona. Costco was last, and all three kids fell asleep right before we got there. We hung out in silence and let them sleep for about twenty minutes, but soon it was just time, so we opened the door, which unlocked everything unceremoniously, and they all woke up. Whoops, lol! Our Costco shop was quick and successful, and we made it home in time for Brady to make the whole family breakfast sandwiches for supper! They were delicious, as was the fruit salad. SUCH a good meal. The kids ate great too. I can’t believe how much Rowan is eating now. I’m only able to squeeze 2 oz maximum into him before bed, so I think the bottle is well on its way out. Which I approve of.
Now that everyone is tucked into bed, I’m done blogging for the day. Once again, I apologize to anyone who views my posts in a browser other than Google Chrome. I know sometimes the pictures are sideways or upside down for you. Its a stupid flaw with this layout that we cannot fix without getting in touch directly with the developer, which is not as easy as it sounds. But I can’t leave the pictures out. The kids are WAY too cute!
Last thing! Last thing!!! First official walk through of the new house tomorrow!!! Gotta go show the electricians whats what! Haha! Or tell them kind of what we want and see what they say… One of the two anyway…
