Kim and I made plans to hang out this evening, so I picked her up shortly after 5:00 and we headed in for supper. I had no idea it was a thing, but we hit up Boston Pizza for pasta Tuesday. Since when??? Anyway, we each got some pasta and a drink, and Ellijah ate his little baby snacks and cooed and was SUPER well behaved. We each paid a nice little bill, thanks to the pasta special, and headed to grab some Starbucks before we ventured on to – you guessed it! – Value Village.
We went to the one on the far side of the city, just to mix it up a bit. We had a few things we were looking for, and admittedly, we didn’t get any of them. Neither of us went particularly crazy, but we got some clothes, she got some shoes, I got a super pretty Pyrex bowl, stuff like that. Ellijah, again, was SO good, but got a bit restless and stopped for a little snack while we were in the change rooms.
After a pretty good run around to try and locate the toy he chucked out of his car seat, we were able to get our stuff and ourselves back to the van. Our “quick stop for a few things” had become a two hour shop, and we closed Value Village tonight. We grabbed a couple of coffees on the way out, and had SUCH a nice drive home. We regularly talk about how fast our friendship came to be, but it has been such a blessing, and we have a wonderful time together, if I can be so bold as to speak for her as well.
Poor sleeping baby was in Rowans car seat, so he had to be hauled out of his comfy place to go inside :/ But he gave me a nice smile while I hugged his mommy goodnight. From there, I headed home, and was greeted by lots of great stories about how the evening went, and how fabulous my kids are. Lots of wins tonight for me. A great evening out for me, happy kids, happy husband. All is well! I hope your household was happy this evening too, Kim! If so, we should do this again sometime…
