No, I did not search to purchase a new sister today. In fact, after a big breakfast and getting ready, my very own sister and I went shopping for the afternoon. Our lovely men kept the kids occupied and alive while we entertained ourselves and hit the box stores, and then a mall.
I won’t lie. Our first few places were pretty sad and unsuccessful. I say “sad” completely loosely, mostly because I can’t think of the right word. I would say “disappointing” but we were having lots of fun being together and it didn’t feel like a loss or anything.
I finally found a few things, and Caity found one perfect shirt. I had a really fun shop at Lululemon and picked up a few things that I think will last for a good long while. We also treated ourselves to soft pretzels and cheese sauce, and some frozen lemonade. I can’t tell you why, but the soft pretzel market has not been tapped in Saskatoon. Therefore, every time we’re in Winnipeg, I anticipate a soft pretzel, covered in butter and chunky salt, dipped in cheese. I wish I could have them more often, but I appreciate them a lot when their time comes!
We had some delicious Chinese take out for supper, and put the kids down a bit after their bedtime. Dekker proceeded to talk about cars and racing an Barney and who knows what else for a solid hour, if not two. He had a loaded day as well, playing in the pool on the deck with Laela, playing basketball, and making sure “Puppy Maybe” was always watching. Best kids ever.
After several Mario Kart cups, and a big helping of queso, it is definitely time for bed. Or at least a bit of Netflix. We have to be grown ups and travel home tomorrow. And then Brady really has to be a grown up and go back to work!!! Better get some rest! Looking forward to a photo post either tomorrow or the next day 🙂
Sleep deep, all! Sorry for all the super late posts. Thems the family time!
