Mixed Bag Saturday

Behold! What you missed this last week!

Ok, I’m pretty sure you saw this already. Maybe? I don’t know. I bought some super cute cotton yarn and made really bright, summery dishcloths. I can’t tell you why I like these colors so much but I just really do.

Dekker looked like a teenager this one morning, so it needed to be captured šŸ’œ Ugh. This kid just keeps growing.

We exchanged our phones this week, as you know šŸ™‚ I didn’t get a picture of the three of us, because Brady was being responsible and we were hanging back a bit. But we had fun šŸ™‚

Also this week, I bought something SUPER exciting at Value Village! Ok, so probably I’m the only one who cares, but this thing is the cats pajamas. Its a yarn winder! I will admit that I did buy one of these for myself brand new last year for my birthday. If I remember right, it was about $60. This one, I paid $3.50 for. It needs a clean up, but its way sturdier than my other one. What a steal!

A while back, one of Brady’s friends, Doug, drove out to show Dekker around his trailer and all his tools. He gave Dekker a bunch of stickers and one of this company hats. It was very cool of him to make such a special effort for Dekker! Turns out, he has been working on getting hats for ALL the kids šŸ’œ They are a total hit, as you can imagine. I’m partial to Waverly’s hat, but who is surprised by that?

Brady and I got to go for a solo walk just the other day šŸ’œ It was nice. When he uses the Batec, we can hold hands! Between having a bunch of young kids and now paraplegia, I’ve really missed holding hands.

We put the Batec through some rigorous testing this last week and I think we’ll try to keep it on the road lol! Brady was able to get through everything by driving with his right hand and pushing his wheel with his left. Thank goodness for his grippy outdoor wheels! We got through, but you’d better believe we took a different way home!

This last picture was worthy of a giggle for me. You know when you try to drink out of, say, a wine glass or champagne flute, and you also have a nose? And it just doesn’t work?? This is the toddler version, hahaha!! Her hat made it next to impossible to steal that last little drop, but she maintained her style while earning that teeny little spec of coffee. She’d say it was worth it.

Thats been our week! Pretty quiet, but in a way we are completely happy with. More rowdy days to come, I’m sure. If the weather can ever sort itself out, hopefully we’ll have grass started sooner than later. Sod? Spray? Seed? Always planning for whats to come…
