Cher and I went to the city today with a short list of Christmasy items, and a long list of groceries. We started with the fun stuff, and hit up a few stores for smaller items. I got the end of the materials needed for the homemade gifts I’m making, which is SO victorious! Thanks to Brady, Krista, and myself all hitting different stores at different times, we got it ALL! I also got a few more gifts for the kids, and enveloped for our Christmas cards. Weeeee!
We grabbed some Wendy’s burgers for a cheap lunch and then hit Costco for the motherload. It wasn’t our biggest shop ever, but one of those gigantic ones when you know everything is about to close again, and you feel the need to be extra prepared with ALL the staples before you can’t find them anymore. There was NO toilet paper at Costco, of course, but I got a good haul of hand soap, meat, veggies, granola bars, some freezer food, and a handful of aisle stuff. If everything closes down, at least we’ll be set for a while, and then we’ll just have to get creative!! (Meanwhile, I came home to a gift of beef for our family from our amazing neighbours across the street!! Thank you so much, Tom and Rae! You don’t realize the impact that has on us.)
Brady helped us unload and put the groceries away. I should really update you on his life/pain/numbness soon, hey? I’ll get there. Its not like I’ve had other stuff on the go. Cool cool cool.
Once everything was unloaded, Cher went down to her room to work on some school stuff, and Brady and I watched a little Netflix before it was time to get the kids up from naps. It was a nice wind down from being out, but I truly enjoyed being out with Cher. Its ALWAYS a good time with that one. She’s super helpful and game for whatever, but just SUCH a joy to have along. Whatever we do together is fun.
Now, to waste the rest of the day away working on projects and eating perogies. Anyone else? Whatcha serving for supper?
