Our entire family was grumpy and lethargic yesterday so we felt it was important to get out of the house today. Being overdue on grocery shopping, we figured we had a good excuse to hit the city for a chunk of the day.
Lucky for us, we slept in pretty nicely! Dekker did anyway. We woke up slowly, watched Friends, had Eggos for breakfast, and I had a nice chat with one of Brady’s sisters on the phone. We don’t talk on the phone very often so when we do, there is a LOT of catching up to be done! It was a super relaxing morning that flew by. We got Dekker up, fed, and we were ready to go.
The most important order of business was to revisit Value Village and see if we missed anything cool last time. Plus, Brady had barely had any time to look around last time, so we did another sweep and ended up with a few shirts each and a brand new (as in unworn) pair of Carhartt work pants for Brady. A very good haul. But the very best part was that when we were leaving, the cashier offered Dekker a balloon! His first helium balloon! And better yet, a red one! She lovingly tied it loosely around his wrist as he sat patiently in his stroller. Well that was the highlight for the rest of the day. It bounced up and down in the back of the car the rest of the day. We even debated bringing it into Superstore with us but we figured he’d be super thrilled to have a balloon when he got back to the car, so we left it in the backseat. And we were right, he was so happy! If you didn’t catch the video I put on Facebook (I wish I could put videos on here!!) it showed him playing peek from behind his balloon. Here’s the best I have for right now.
After all errands were completed, we picked up noodle bowls and headed for home. Now, everyone is full and bursting, and we’re heading downstairs for an episode of Auction Hunters before bedtime.
It was a great day. I’m anticipating an even better one tomorrow 🙂 Optimism!!!
yay, you got your noodle bowl…finally 🙂 What a beautiful grandson I have ♥
