Our Day Off

It was SUCH a treat to take today off completely!! Brady and I slept in amazingly, thanks to our fabulously relaxed and quit big kids, and the baby who went back to sleep after drinking his milk at 7:00am. I felt rested, and was barely sore when I got up shortly after 9:00. What a great start!

My parents went to church, and the rest of us stayed in. We had a yummy breakfast that the kids demolished, and watched a bit of low key tv. The kids have hardly watched tv the last few days, which is great, but it was really nice to zone and rest a little. When my parents got home, we made burgers and fries for lunch, and made a plan to not make a plan for the day.

We tossed around the ideas of watching a movie, playing a game, going for a walk, etc. We eventually decided not to make a real plan, and soon after that, my mom and I decided to duck into the city really quickly. I bought some gorgeous and super comfy new jeans at Thyme Maternity the other day, and they snagged! I’m scared that it’ll turn into a hole. Since the snag was not from anything I did, but just a flaw in the fabric, I figured it was worth inquiring about. So she and I got dressed and ready, and headed in to the mall. We did a quick walk through, and my mom found a new top and a dress!! Good colors, great fits, both definite wins! Go mom! Then we hit up Thyme, and they were really good about exchanging my pants. The only difference was that the regular length was no longer on hand in my size. I tried on the petite size and they fit even better than the regular!! My legs aren’t long at all, but usually petite is juuust a bit too short. But not in this case! So that was a big win. Also, my mom treated me to a new top there. I have this one basic long sleeved grey maternity shirt that I practically live in, and this morning, I discovered that its life is almost over 🙁 Really, it should be over already. The pits are all worn and dark and gross 🙁 But I LOVE that shirt. So thank you, mom, for replacing my favorite grey cozy shirt today. As if you haven’t done enough for me this last while, why not buy me some clothes while you’re at it? <3 I love you. Thank you!

We made our way back to the vehicle after a quick stop at Starbucks before heading back to their place for the evening. We enjoyed cinnamon rolls and fruit for supper, and put the kids down for night. Once the littles were down, we watched a bit of tv, and played cards. It was comfy and relaxed and I loved it.

Tomorrow is the day we finally move into our rental!!! We made a bit of a plan, but nothing in great detail or anything that requires a rushed schedule. Not too much left to do! I’m so ready for tomorrow. Its time to move in, and settle. At least for a while!
