Solly was up every two hours last night. It was pretty exhausting for Brady and I. However, he did drink milk like a maniac, which was awesome. On top of being sick and losing quite a bit of weight recently, he’s also dealing with some pretty wicked constipation these days. Drinking lots and lots should only help with both of those things. Factor in the likelihood of a growth spurt, a bout of teething, and whatever else, the kids allowed to have an off night.
Needless to say, we were pretty tired this morning, but upon getting the kids up the day, they were in great shape! We decided to embrace that and head into Saskatoon and do some running around. After looking at our lists, all we really could do today was Costco. Even that, the kids were excited about. They love grocery shopping, I don’t know what to tell you. They just love it. So we got everyone dressed, and I even got myself put together before we headed out.
Costco didn’t take too terribly long, but we took our time. It was Costco on a Saturday, so one can only move so quickly. Solly sat up with Rowan in the cart, which was good until about five minutes before we were leaving, when he decided he’d had enough. Someone thought Laela’s name was Tequila! But otherwise it was quite seamless.
I think the whole gang, myself included, was kind of bummed that we only had one place to go to, but we just did the other places two days ago. There just was no reason to wander further into the city. Also, Brady and I had a quick talk and decided that, just because the kids were doing well didn’t mean we needed to push our luck. So we went home and put the little boys to bed. Rested is always better than overtired. Always.
Now that everyone is tucked away, the two older kids are playing Lego, groceries are put away, and Brady and I had lunch, we have a quiet house. Brady is currently sleeping on the couch beside me, and I’m curled up on the recliner, blogging (obviously) and resting my brain. This feels like such a nice Saturday. No, we’re not out and about and busy in the beautiful weather, or being super productive. But we’re home and relaxed, and no one is doubled over in sickness. Its a really really nice way to spend a weekend!!
I hope the rest of you are enjoying your Saturday as well 🙂
