As wrong as it seemed, we woke Dekker an hour earlier than necessary this morning. I was up for playing piano at church and had to be on the road at 8:30. We had decided to load Brady and Dekker in with Brady’s parents to arrive at the service at 10:00, but we wanted Dekker to have a sleep before lunch, so we opted to bring him to church early. It worked, and he slept through the service no problem! We headed to the local restaurant for lunch.
A LOT of pasta later, we were finished, Dekker was relatively meltdown-free, and Brady’s parents were on their way home. Such a nice visit, you guys. Thanks for coming 🙂
We debated a bit about what to do Sunday afternoon. Our week is looking pretty busy (in a wonderful way!), but there were some really good deals in the flyers we got for this week, so we decided to go buy our stuff this afternoon instead of making yet another trip into the city later on. Dekker has his specialist appointment on Wednesday so while that would be the perfect time to get stuff done in some ways, I think it’ll be a tough day on him and I’m pretty sure we’re gonna take him straight home afterwards. So to the city we went.
Only upon arriving home did we realize that we took advantage of awkwardly similar deals…
Ok, no judging on the Jones Soda. I haven’t had one of those things since high school and they were 10/$10. Couldn’t resist 🙂 The eight jugs of juice were the main goal. While the raspberry lemonade is all fake and delicious, the orange and apple juice are straight orange and apple juice, no anything added, so I feel better about having them once in a while, and adding them to smoothies that Dekker will drink. Not that we’re super strict on food and sugars all the time, but these jugs were on for $3 each, which is pretty great considering we saw the exact same ones at Co-op for $8.50!! Win! Oh, and the tiny pomegranate juices were $1 and I’ve just always been curious 🙂 Why not? But we’re clearly a thirsty family. Six of the juice jugs are safely tucked away in my overflowing freezer.
Another exciting thing about coming home was seeing my daylilies are starting! I mean, the greenery has been there for a while now but the flowers are coming!!! Probably literally a day or two away!
I’m pretty excited about them actually. They’re always so bright 🙂 A friend gave them to us a couple of years ago. They were already quite big and we dragged our feet getting them in, so I never expected them to actually grow! But success!!!!!
Last tidbit of my relaxing Sunday was dinner. Dekker slept through supper and Brady and I had guilty pleasure food with strawberry lime Jones to drink. If anyone remembers, Jones has “fortunes” in the lids. Mine?
Right. Because this month hasn’t already been a whirlwind, and we’re only 9 days in.
