We did a little work this morning. We’re short a Laela, but the rest of us agreed to get some jobs done this morning so we could rest in the afternoon during nap time. We dug into our huge toy bin upstairs and organized it enough to make it overflow slightly less. I got some things off of what we call our camp table that lives in the kitchen. We had some more goals, but some things come up, as they tend to do, and a few things got mildly derailed. but it definitely wasn’t too bad. Everyone got their baths and I think at least one kid practiced piano. We’ll call it a successful morning.
We lunched and sat a little, and Brady and I watched an episode or two of our show. But when we could hear the babies start talking and we knew it was time to get the day back in action, we decided to break it up a little bit.
Babies got up and we all hauled out to the city for a low pressure trip. We had only two goals.
Go to Michaels to buy some of the yarn they are discontinuing that I LOVE.
Drop off a donation at Value Village.
And there was the promise for a fast food supper for the kids.
Everyone happily went along with the plan, and in we went! Michaels wasn’t a huge success but I’d say a moderate success. Almost all of the colors I was hoping for were gone, but there were some, so I’ll take it. And then, I tweaked the plan a little bit and asked if Brady would leave me at Value Village while he went to pick up supper. So while they all picked up food, I thrifted a little on my own. It was a really nice break 💜 I left the store with three books, two puzzles, and shoes for the three older boys. Again, a success, for sure!
I haven’t gone out in a long time. It was refreshing, but my body is tired. Wind down time has arrived.
Wish us luck for getting to church tomorrow!!
