As I keep posting blogs, and my summer gets fuller and fuller and more and more fun, I’m struggling to titles these posts!!! There have just been too many fabulous days, and I’m not creative enough to name them all different things. If I could call them all “A Great Day” and number them off, I guess that would be one way. Either way, it goes without saying, today was a great day 🙂
We had made a bit of a plan yesterday that we’d all go into the city for a short shopping trip this afternoon. My parents decided to hang back, and our kids were in pretty rough shape, so we left Dekker and Laela to sleep while we took Ro with us. We did a bit of shopping for ourselves, and for the kids. I am incredibly proud of myself, actually! I didn’t buy anything for my kids at Carters, and I only bought the necessities at the Gap outlet, which meant new jeans for Dekker and Rowan. I’m not sure why I haven’t tried their jeans there before. Rowans fit him perfectly, which is rarely the case. I think lots of parents can relate to me about the long legs and the little waist. My kids aren’t particularly thin as babies (or not at all) but finding jeans to fit their waists and their leg length sometimes seems impossible. However, I found a great fitting pair for Ro! Dekker’s new ones are pretty long, but they fit his waist great, so they’ll likely fit for a good long time.
We got home pretty much just in time for a delicious supper of mashed potatoes and pork chops. Rowan is eating better than ever today, for some reason, so he actually had eaten and was down for a nap during the meal. Our kids went down on time, which is FABULOUS considering the excitement in the house.
I had a really wonderful chat with my sister after that, kind of spontaneously. We forgot time and visited for well over an hour, which was much needed and appreciated. I loved it. It ended with ice cream and joining the rest of the family.
Shortly after 10:00pm, Rowan woke up, and everyone seemed to disperse at that time to their separate quarters. Much earlier to bed tonight, which I think is good. Brady is back to work tomorrow, which is sad but good. Hopefully being this much closer to the city will bring him home a little bit earlier too. Its always so nice being all together <3
