I’m pretty familiar with taking the kids out grocery shopping, errand runs, and whatever else. Its so nice when I can tag team with someone, but I am also capable of going on my own, of course. However, we’ve been getting better and better at limiting our errand runs to maybe once a week, in an effort to save money, so we often go in on a weekend as a family.
This morning, the little boys were at each other, and Wavy was up and happy. I figured it was an ideal time to go out for a bit! While getting them ready to go, I realized that I have NEVER taken out just the little ones on my own!
The little miss had the right idea. All the cool kids wear sweatsuits!
Today was a whole new world 🙂 The boys were so psyched to be out and about, and Wavy was pretty much perfectly content the entire time. It was just a small trip in, which sometimes feels a bit fruitless, but today it was just right!
We went to Walmart for a very short list of things we needed. I bought two big bags of bananas (We need to start buying those things by the ten pound box or something) and some coleslaw for tonights supper. We snagged a couple small things off of our list, but the main stop was in the dairy aisle. Sigh. Guys, I think Ro is lactose intolerant. Which sucks. So I’m on a mission to figure that out, and bought him a carton of his own milk. He is SO excited to have something that no one else is allowed to have, haha! Let’s hope it makes a difference. I’ll talk more on that once this “experiment” is over. Next week, probably.
We bought our groceries and went back to the van. Our only other plan was to go get coffee and bring one to Brady. We don’t do it too often, but sometimes, if I’m in the city with the kids on my own, we go and stop and have a ten minute coffee break with him. Its breaks up the day for all of us, which is really nice.
We were sitting in the bus, sipping coffee, when one of his sight supervisors stopped and rolled down his window. I hadn’t seen him since before we had Waverly, and his wife had a baby right around the same time. We had a brief chat before another site supervisor pulled up next to the first. We all rolled down all the windows and had a chat before they drove off. A very confused man in a truck eyed us all suspiciously before driving past us and on down the street. Apparently we were blocking someone by accident. Whoops! It was a funny interaction tho.
We’re now home, and everyone is napping. Supper survived its time unsupervised in the slow cooker, and Brady shouldn’t be too much longer at work. Tonight holds some Bachelor in Paradise with Jerilee (We are SO BEHIND!!!) and some more work being done in the basement! The electrical is in full swing, and might even get done tonight, and plumbing is well on its way, thanks to a helpful, diligent friend coming and working last night.
Tomorrow is Friday, and hubs is even home for the day! Guys, its basically already the weekend!
