The kids slept in beautifully this morning! Ok, no, it was no 10:30 that Dekker used to give us, but it wasn’t a 7:01 either. 8:40 was a great compromise! I scrambled for the next 50 minutes to get myself and the kids ready for church. Thankfully, my parents were there to help get the kids fed while I got myself ready. Brady was off doing a sound check with the worship team for the morning service. A last minute weather change brought the service inside, sadly, but it was ok that way too. Nice to not have to shiver in the unpredictable weather.
I know every mother thinks their kids are the best kids, and we really should all think that! But my kids were easily the cutest kids at church today. Dekker did pretty well considering the size of the crowd and how tight it was, and Laela was so tired but sooo friendly to everyone who looked her way. It was sweet. My parents took off to a birthday party as soon as it was over, and we meandered back to their house for a quiet afternoon.
When the kids went down, I actually abandoned Brady and went to the city to run an errand or two. While I felt completely unproductive, I did come home with a few fun finds. The only thing I came home with that I actually needed was new jeans for Dekker. He recently shot up a couple of inches, or so it seems, so the kid needs longer pants. While buying those, I picked up a romper and some shoes on clearance for Laela. Through the rest of my travels, I magically acquired a new lipstick, casserole dishes, ballet flats, and the coolest jammie pants I’ve ever owned! I realized that I don’t actually own jammie pants, just one wonderful pair of sweats. They’re great, but I’d love something not quite so beefy. I found these beautiful pants at Value Village, Steve Madden tag still attached. Five bucks!!! They’re beautiful. I never want to take them off. They are my best purchase from today, hands down. Although the passion tea lemonade was a big win as well…
When I got home, I was greeted by everyone! The kids were up, my parents were back, and Brady was still alive. The house was rocking in the best way. For supper, we had hot dogs, and doritos with dip, and strawberries, mango, and grapes. It was ridiculously delicious, and hit the spot beautifully!
It was sad to go home, and very sad for Dekker to be put to bed here. He loved the sleepover. But with everyone tucked in, Brady and I can take our time settling in, and having a soak. Oh, and checking on the garden! Hopefully we have some some movement 😀 I’m so ready to have a good garden this year! I speak in faith, haha, as the last few years its been a total flop. No flooding this year, please lord!
Sleep sweet, guys. You’d probably sleep better if you had these rockin’ jammie pants…
