Coming to a close

Its our last day here in Winnipeg, and we have spent it well if I do say so myself. Caity and I did some running around this afternoon and accomplished a pretty great haul at Target. We both bought my baby girl some clothes that I’m SUPER excited about! I’ll take pictures when we get home 🙂 I also picked up some BB cream. I only halfway know what it is and I don’t know whether or not Rimmel was the right brand to try out, but the brand I was looking for was out of their lightest shade, which I most definitely am. Either way, I’ve wanted to try this face cream and I’ll post on here my thoughts once I actually use it for a while. Fuss-free makeup is what I’m hoping for! While us ladies shopped, the boys stayed home and played video games. Probably not as much as they would have liked though. Dekkers nap schedule was wildly off kilter and he was quite hands-on the whole time he was awake. But I’m still thinking they had a good time. Just maybe less relaxing than we had.

We came home and read Dekker books while the guys got in a few more games. We had burgers for supper, which really hit the spot in my opinion. We have only eaten super delicious food since we got here. No complaints whatsoever. After supper we put Dekker to bed, and watched The Hunger Games. Brady and I had never seen it before, or read the books, but it was a pretty intense movie! I was scared it would be a lot more graphic and gruesome and that I wouldn’t sleep, but it is now past midnight and I’m pretty sure I’ll fall asleep soon 🙂 As a sidenote, towards the end of the movie, Dekker was waking up quite regularly. I figured it was because we were watching a movie and just making a bit of noise. Sometimes it happens, and he always falls right back to sleep. But the wakeful times were getting closer together, and Brady pointed out that they were sounding sadder and sadder. So he took a risk and went in to pick Dekker up and give him a cuddle. We almost never disturb him until morning as it tends to wake him more than relax him. But poor little man had pooped 🙁

We opted to use disposable diapers on this trip, as we didn’t have all the supplies we felt we needed to comfortably use cloth. However, his rash is insane! Its amazing how such a short time in cloth has made such a difference, and now he is absolutely suffering in his disposables. Tomorrow we’re going to pick up some more cloth diapers that our friends purchased for us off of kijiji, and I know the woman who sold them freshly stripped and washed them, so we may already use them tomorrow for the drive home to try and save his poor bum.

Time for bed. We have to be up bright and early! Big plans to meet our friends for breakfast before hitting the road and heading home. If anyone thinks of us in their prayers tonight or tomorrow, please pray that our ride home can be as smooth as our ride out was. Such a blessing!
