Welcome to this weekends photo recap post!
Garage saling was the first event of the weekend 🙂 It was windy but beautiful out. We meandered our way through the nearby garage sales, but called it pretty quick, so as to not overdo it. Hopefully we’ll do more next year!
Then my mom offered to feed the kids lunch so Brady and I could go grab some food and have a shorty date. It was really really lovely of her 💜 We ate DLMs from McDonalds, and then made our way to Canadian Tire for a Mother’s Day gift for my mom (no I’m not kidding) and a bike tube. Used that handicapped parking tag like a boss 😎
We got back to town, and dropped off the bike tube at a friends house. Becaaaaause they were fixing something up for him!!!
Is this not one of the coolest things you’ve ever seen?!?! A recumbent bike! This kind of thing makes getting rid of some of Brady’s old stuff feel WAY less gross, because we can replace it with things he can use!!
Now for the Mothers Day pictures! See my beautiful flowers?? This is courtesy of Quinn and Kims Flowers, who not only put together a CRAZY beautiful arrangement for me, but also thought of us extra, and helped Brady out specially.
Then, I got some gifts from the kids 🙂 Laela made me a coaster, which adds really sweetly to our collection of tile coasters from the kids! I love them!
Dekker made a super cute art project on a canvas 🙂🙂
Then, Solly painted a plant pot for me and planted a pansy in it, and Rowan made a cute little flower/photo display. They’re all SO cute!
Once most of the festivities died down, Brady took an accidental nap 😴
I may have accidentally woke him…
The kids played outside in the afternoon, and got SO dirty, as per usual.
When the time came for supper, we ate delicious food! Hashbrown casserole, honey ham, fruit and fruit dip, and cinnamon buns! It was CRAZY good!!! Yet another meal train win. That is a gift that just keeps on giving, my goodness!
There were snuggles at the end of the day…
And then the day wrapped up with some popcorn in our brand new Schneider popcorn popper! Yet another overwhelmingly thoughtful gift!
Aaaaand while the weekend pictures are over, I can’t not share these few of Laela and I from this morning, because she has been extra soft and loving and sweet to me recently 💜
All in all, it was a really beautiful, restful weekend, which is exactly what we need. I’m struggling with the way I sound – as if I’m making excuses by saying I’m tired so often, but its just the truth. The mental exhaustion is REAL, and it just wipes a person out in every way. The person, in this case, being me!
Onto this next week! The LAST week of radiation! We are ready to wave goodbye to this chunk of the journey. Brady wants his energy back, and we’re going to need it over the next month! Hopefully we can get everything in order at home and at the lake before the next step, whatever that is, whenever that comes. God knows what we need. He’s never left us or forsaken us!
