The Daily Hailey

Brady had the day off so we decided to get some grocery shopping out of the way. If we’re going to run errands, its always on Saturday. I don’t remember the last Saturday we spent at home. Plus, shelf-clearers are out on Saturdays, so deals are swept up way too early in the day.

This was the third day in a row where Dekker slept almost until noon. Brady and I slept almost as long. The three of us has a relaxed brunch of…almost nothing…and then headed out for groceries. Its sad to try and make breakfast without milk or bread or fruit.

It was the average grocery shopping day. We spent the afternoon at Walmart and Superstore. We picked up the last door that we were missing for our cabinet project as well. Brady will install those tomorrow and hopefully I’ll get a good start on reorganizing our entire life (aka: our kitchen, pantry, cleaning supplies, linens, etc). I know all of these things don’t go in the kitchen but we’ll have more room in our pantry and everything will change! I’m very excited!

Rarely do we grocery shop and come home with every single thing on the list. We were sooo close today! Should I be surprised that Superstore was completely sold out of pureed pumpkin? No. But I was! I should have thought to look for it at Walmart first but I didn’t. Oh well. I was debating between two recipes I want to try in the near future, and I guess this made it easy to decide to try the one that doesn’t require pumpkin first. No biggie.

From the city, we headed to my parents house for the evening. Roast beef, potatoes, caesar salad and corn on the cob for supper! The one thing from our garden that survived our ridiculous weather this summer was our corn. While I’m bummed that everything else perished, the corn was the only thing that didn’t survive last year, so its a trade off I’m willing to accept. We picked the last of our corn a few days ago and this was sort of our celebratory supper, in honor of the corn on the cob 🙂 Cheesy, I know, but it was important to me. I was so depressed about my entire garden kicking the bucket, and then God gave me corn.

As per usual, the baby is in bed and the bubble bath is running. Now for a night snack… Is there really anything that is healthy to eat this late at night? I think not. But that probably won’t stop me. Good night, all!
