A Morning Out

We’ve been housebound for a really long time, and because of that, we haven’t had many playdates or outings with friends for about that length of time. I was excited earlier this week when a friend who lives really close by texted me and invited the kids and I over for this morning! I knew Dekker would be sad to miss out, since he had school today, so I didn’t tell him about it (ssshhh!) and instead, I got the kids dressed and ready after he left for the day.

I got everyone dressed, jacketed, and out the door around 9:45, and we walked the short walk over. The struggle of Laela and Rowan both wanting to hold my hand was real, since I had Solly in my other arm. But we managed, and the kids happily went into the house and began finding toys.

We visited and played with the kids while all kinds of delicious things baked away in the double oven on the wall. Fresh cookies and milk for all! There was no shortage of chatting, playing, running, serving pretend food, or exploring. It was a really really nice morning for us!! A change of scenery, but also a place where the kids could pull of their socks and play in the pantry, like they do at home. But to be fair, its a WAY nicer, bigger pantry than ours! Haha!

Brady is already on his way home, thanks to a shorter day of work 😀 While the little boys have been napping, I ate leftover pulled pork for lunch. But guys, I found the win! Rather than putting it on a bun (because bread and buns are bad for you right? 😉 ) I scoop it with Doritos. Healthier, right?? 😉 I know, I know, baaaaad. But OH so good!!! You should all try it. Also, I used the “chicken and rib” barbecue sauce when I made it, because it was all I had, and it was a game changer! SO good!

Hubs is home, and he brought coffee, so that’s me signing off! I hope you all have great Friday nights! I’m hoping that Brady and I might actually be a bit productive, maybe stay insulating the basement, and then tomorrow morning I’m getting my hair done! Woot!

Sleep deep!
