The Daily Hailey

I’ve really enjoyed today 🙂 I was nervous going into this weekend, and its probably seemed, because I was going to lose Brady for a good chunk of the day to our driveway to work on his van. I am so pleased to report that things have gone way smoother than expected. I had afternoon plans, and Brady got the vast majority of the work done by 12:45, so he could come in, wash up, and I could go. He’ll do a bit more work here in a few minutes, but its so nice that its the time of year that we have daylight for longer. And again, seeing how the first chunk of the work went, I have high hopes for this next bit. Knock on wood I’m not completely jinxing it.

I drove into the city to go to Jerilee’s open house. She sells Mary Kay now, and was hosting a get together so her customers could see the new line of products. It was fun to hang out at her place for a bit, eat snacks, visit, and of course, shop. I came out of it with a new blush/highlight combo, a purple lip/cheek stick, a spray lotion, a fragrance, and I have a foundation on order. Not too shabby, I’d say! I definitely overstayed my welcome before leaving and heading onto my next stop – Value Village.

I ordered Jerilee’s birthday present months ago, and it FINALLY came in the mail a day or two ago!! Good thing, since her birthday is next week! However, in the process of getting the house ready for sale, I either packed or chucked all of our gift bags and pretty much every box ever. So I thought Value Village would maybe offer me a unique type of “wrapping” for her gift. And honestly, it absolutely did! I am so please with what I found 🙂 I also snagged two shirts, a large bag of pre-strung fake pearls (for something artsy, I think) and a wristlet/wallet. Best of all, I only spent around $25! Woot!

I grabbed some Tims coffees on the way home and was greeted excitedly at the door by happy, clean kids. Well, two of them were happy and clean. One was sleeping and cleaning. I like both of those scenarios, though, so I was thrilled. Lots of hugs and cuddles and curious glances thrown towards the bags I was carrying. They’re so cute, and say still while I showed them what I bought. Dekker asked to see it all again, but when I told him once was probably enough, he said “Oh, ok mommy. You’re nesclate (necklace) looks really pretty,” and he was off.

The evening was filled with lots of happy games, mac and cheese, and cozy jammies. Ro has been sleeping like there will be a million tomorrows and he couldn’t care less for today, which is pretty awesome actually. I miss him a bit when he does that, but I actually think he’s teething, so he’s more than welcome to sleep through all of that. But the kids are all quiet, and Brady is back out working, and I think he’s having success, so YAY! I’m looking forward to a soak and a coffee. That just feels like the perfect way to end this day!
