We made progress in a couple of different ways to far today. The most important way was in regards to the kids sickness. I’m not suggesting they’re “all better” but I’m happy see some some improvement! They’re definitely not as snotty as they were yesterday, and spirits are up a little bit, at least. Solly is still in pretty rough shape, and gets very sad very quickly, but thats not surprising. We still enjoyed our relaxed sickie-pants type of movie morning 🙂 I like watching movies with the kids. Today’s feature was good old “Little Rascals.” I loved that movie as a kid, and still do.
Other progress we made today was in anticipation for spring! Brady dutifully dug out some outerwear tubs and we tried spring jackets, boots, hats, etc. on the kids. The goal was for each kid to have a jacket for wind/rain, and one nicer jacket, a pair of rubber boots, runners, and sandals, and a hat. What we didn’t already have, we put on a list to fulfill, but we were better set up than I expected we’d be! I’m very much anticipating that Value Village shop! We did one a little while back because Laela sized up TWICE this last year and her snow pants were just no going to last through winter. We managed to find her a whole new set of winter stuff for next year (she started wearing the snow pants this year, obviously,) and a spring jacket for her, also. The kids LOVED it there, and we loved paying a fraction of the price of new. I’m not sure when we’ll get there, but hopefully soon. Hopefully we’ll need our spring stuff soon…
I think we’re all ready to see winter go. Any day now!
