Brady stayed home this morning.
I went out with him at 7am and shovelled, but even once we could get him into the van, it was clear that the snow was going to let him leave 😬 So, we tucked in for another cup of coffee and decided to move a bit slower. But the day eventually did begin, and all of the kids went downstairs to play for a bit so Brady could do some worky work and I could try to pump out some complicated foster expenses.
Aaaaand things tend to go, things got a bit rocky down there and it wasn’t long before kids started filtering upstairs. Which was fine. Brady had gotten a little accomplished. Me, not so much, but a lot of texting and organizing with workers at least. And it worked out, because despite some fights and attitudes, the bulk of my picture today were cute.
This right here captured a precious moment where Rowan went to bat for Wavy in a battle between siblings, and he stood his ground and made her feel SO protected and seen and valued!! 🥰 I LOVE those moments!
And another gooder where Laela came and built a fort for the toddlers that made the pantry virtually impossible to enter but was so worth it for the fun they all had.
Our neighbour took it upon himself to lovingly cleared our driveway, as well as the road near our driveway that was quite deep and drifted. Because of his kindness, Brady was able to drive to work for the afternoon! He was so stoked since most of the sales team was off for the day, and he wanted to be there to represent the group.
He took off and I warmed up some lunch.
The afternoon was spent trying to work on the crochet pattern I’ve been building while the kids drew, played lego, and eventually went outside to play with the kids across the street. I packed up a puzzle and started to set up another one. We had some music going. Everything was fairly smooth. Not flawless, but we do NOT require perfect!
Hopefully tomorrow, the roads will be nicer, considering I have to take everyone in. Twice. Maybe they’ll also be nicer 🤣😬 These weeks off, though. Anyone else feel that burn? 🙋♀️
Ok. Everyone is down. Supper time!
