It was going to be a lazy day at home for myself and the kidlets. Brady was going to meet with a couple to walk through their house and assess the work he’ll be doing in the near future for them. His meeting was for 2:00pm. However, in the morning, I decided I didn’t want to be housed for the day. So we packed everyone up and took off to the city together.
Brady dropped us at the mall, so I hauled the littles around in the double stroller for a little while. I bought a little wallet insert, and a pair of phone-friendly mini gloves. I happened upon a photo booth and got super excited! I got both kids out of the their seats and got us all set up in the booth, only to be met with a blank screen and a broken machine. Grrrr! Luckily, though, Dekker spotted one of those ride-on toys across the aisle and made a beeline for it. And that is where we spent the next hour.
I only had one loonie, so the car only “drove” once, but he enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave. While we played, a man with a ton of keys came around and added a bunch of stuffed animals to the claw game. And then added candy to the vending machine. And then he pulled the photo booth away from the wall, hung out back there for a little while, made a few phone calls, and then pushed it back. I asked him if it was up and running and he said it was. I got excited all over again and said I was going to go do pictures with my kids. He was so sweet, and pulled the cash out of his wallet 🙂 The machine worked but the camera wouldn’t adjust to where we were sitting, so we’re actually only in two of the pictures. Not the best photo booth experience of my life, but its still a sweet memory.
When Brady showed up, we opted to eat something before we left. So, fries it was. Someone loves his seasoning salt!
This was probably our last happy moment before arriving home. Both kids were sad and overtired and the trip started to seem like a bad idea from the get-go. However, we had to stop to fill up the car at Costco on our way out. I ducked in to pick up a box of wipes and was met with BABY WEEK! I spent about ten times the amount of money I was planning to, but there were incredible deals on things we need and use every day!
Wipes were $4 off, diapers were $8 off, and formula was a whopping $5 off each can!!! For anyone who formula feeds, you will understand how wild of a deal this is!!! Savings are great if you can get them.
