I slept much better last night than I had the night before, which was a relief. It helps when one isn’t up from 4:00am on. The kids were pretty cute, and played well. We ate yummy snacks and had a pretty relaxed day of learning the names of all of Laela’s princesses, and watching some Friends on Netflix.
The kids went down for their nap really well. I wasn’t sure they would, as Laela seemed really energetic still, and squealed at Dekker the whole time I was tucking her in. But they were both asleep in less than ten minutes. While they napped, I rested up as well, watched a bit of YouTube, played Free Cell, and texted a friend or two. Just relaxed. When my mom finally called to say she was on her way over, I decided I should get myself together and look like a human. I had a half hour.
And I accomplished nothing. I put on deodorant and brushed my teeth, and I put my pants back on, haha! But that was it! I found myself sort of running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Yet by the time she arrived, the whole place (and myself) still looked a mess. Luckily, not a drop of judgement dripped off of her. I haven’t had her over in over a month, so we ran around and I showed her everything she’s “missed,” like the paint colors swatched on our walls, my fun little makeup corner I’m putting together, and all the fun new shoes we bought yesterday. I decided to stop showing off our random crap when we started discussing our new sheets. C’mon Hailey, its sheets.
We had a ridiculously yummy supper of perogies and wings, with a cucumber salad on the side. Cucumber salad has turned into my latest cottage cheese concoction, but everyone approved it first, and I made a bit bowl. It was so yummy. We watched a bit of a show, played with the kids, and painted nails. It took a bit to get the kids down, but they eventually did, and we all visited a bit more before mom had to go home. I miss her.
But its time for a soak and a snack. I’m loving these brownies, and can’t wait to eat them again!!
Tomorrow, all I have written in my day planner is “make honey mustard dressing” and “laundry day.” Both are easy and decently enjoyable tasks. I’m looking forward to my cozy day at home 🙂
It was a lovely visit Hailey …..and I really liked those sheets. I want some too 🙂 And you’re right…. supper was scrumptious and I know we had it because it’s one of my fav’s. It was so nice to be together. Thank you for painting my toes…you’re a sweetheart! I love you.
I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself too. We were all so thrilled to have you over! I love you too, and hope to date you again soon 🙂
