Down and out. But not in a bad way…

Brady and I are both down with colds. And we went out. Hence the title. Witty little play on words there for ya.

I am praising the Lord for today! My cold is miles better than is was a day or two ago, which almost never happens. Brady’s cold hit its worst this morning but cleared up significantly in the afternoon. We’re thinking we may already be on the upswing!

We felt well enough to head into Saskatoon for a few things. Starbucks (obviously), oil for the car, and groceries. Brady and I always try to guess how much the groceries will cost before they’re scanned. We never put any money on it or anything, it is just a game. Brady has actually guessed within the dollar once! So today, I looked at our purchases (potatoes, soup, fruit cups, oats,milk,  butter, etc.) and guessed $60. And they came to $56! Not only was I close, but I looove it when I pay less than I was expecting! Same thing happened at Walmart. Not specifically that our entire purchase came to less than I thought it would, but we bought higher quality oil for the car for less than we normally pay for lesser quality oil at Canadian Tire. Not sure why I hadn’t thought of trying Walmart before! Even the filter was cheaper!

After our successful shopping trip, we arrived home before 3:00pm, fed Deks and played with him downstairs a little bit before putting him down for a nap. Of course, he’s still talking away. He hasn’t napped at all yet, and we all know how much he sleeps! I think he’s just happy 🙂 And that makes me happy.

Such a nice family I have. Looking forward to a comfy evening at home with them.
