We had planned to go to church this morning, because its been so long since we’ve been in a good scheduled habit of going, but the little Miss got a fever last night. You would have never known by watching her or being around her, but touching her was a dead giveaway. Not ideal. So we gave her some meds and put her to bed.
This morning, however, Brady got up with the kids to let me sleep a little longer, and Laela was fine at first, but burned up again pretty quick. So we officially decided against church. I slept until 9:45!!! But I woke up to happy kids, and a happy husband who was THRILLED with our new dishwasher. I know its just a material thing, but MAN its nice to have it working so well! Its super quiet when it runs, and it sort of decides on its own how heavy it needs to wash, which is nice. And there’s a child lock on the buttons, which is awesome!! Our kids don’t mess with any of our buttons too much, but these ones are new and begging to be pushed, so I’m thankful for that. Either way, Brady is super pumped about it, and I’m very happy too. It fits way more than our last one, which is truly the cherry on top.
I know its tacky to say, but we ate SO WELL today. We had this delicious baked chicken spaghetti for lunch, and a really good faspa in the evening. For those who don’t know, faspa is one of those things I grew up thinking was common everywhere, and I learned embarrassingly late in life that its actually a german mennonite thing. Its just a light supper on Sundays. So we had buns with a few different kinds of sandwich meat, cheese, lots of veggies, etc. It hit the spot, at least for me, surprisingly well. Once supper was done, we went to sit in the living room for a few minutes before my parents were going to head home, and we witnessed an enormous moose (enormoose?) walk right past our house and on down the road. It was kind of crazy! We ran out onto the deck to see if we could watch it a bit longer, but it was freezing out there, so we didn’t last too long. It was cool tho 🙂 Definitely not a sight you see everyday.
Unfortunately, poor miss Laela is still fevered pretty hot. Its easily controlled with Tylenol but it comes back within 4-6 hours. I hope she’s better soon, as her birthday is coming up in a couple of days, and I want to celebrate her beautiful self! I’m not sure how yet! She’ll have her bday party in October, but we’ll see what our little family will do this week to celebrate. Last year was the zoo, but I’m cold just thinking about that!! I’m sure she knows we love her, regardless of what activity we choose.
