Wavy finally gave us some good sleep last night after at least a week of choppy two hour stretches, thanks to her stuffed nose. It was such a relief. Brady and I slept like rocks. When it was time to get up, Brady offered to get the kids and I went downstairs to pull some laundry out of the dryer. I sorted what had accumulated in the last couple of days, just so I didn’t have to later. When I came upstairs, my mom was over, bearing two pans of her delicious homemade cinnamon rolls!
We spent the morning together, eating said cinnamon rolls, with bacon and eggs as well. We drank coffee and chatted for a couple of hours. It was relaxed and sweet and exactly how I wanted our last day of this holiday weekend to look.
When breakfast was finished off, Brady took our eager little children up to our storage closet. They came back to the table positively BEAMING, holding a gift bag in my direction. They were positively twitching with excitement!
My kids had been disappointed that they didn’t have the opportunity to get me a gift for my birthday this summer. They were sad, and I was sad because I know they had mentioned it a lot and were looking forward to it. Today was finally their chance, and their excitement showed blatantly on their faces. Brady told me, upon the presentation of my gift, that the kids hadn’t been able to select the exact gift, but they had given Brady directions, and were happy with his choice.
My kids know what I like 🙂 I got this beautiful fresh mug, along with a couple of beautiful little birthday notes from the kids. Brady also rented me an instrument to try and learn on, with the intention to buy it after a few months if we love it. So thats something fun to anticipate, too!
It was a really sweet morning, and a nice quiet nap time shortly thereafter. Reality strikes again tomorrow, but I hope you all finish off your holiday weekend with loved ones like I have.
