I super-dee-duper enjoyed today! It was filled with good food and drinks and friends and family and outings and fun. It was a fabulous change of scenery.
First, Brady and I had lattes and chocolate cake for breakfast. I highly recommend that start to the day. It was delicious. After breakfast, we got the kids all dressed and ready, and we all drove to a late morning meeting with our mortgage broker, where the kids sat surprisingly well while Brady and I signed all of the official papers accepting the mortgage to our new house! Eek! It made everything so much more real, once again. Rarely have I enjoyed signing my name the way I do when signing house documents. It’s been fun 🙂
My mom came by shortly after our meeting and picked me up for an afternoon of shopping! We hit Tony Roma’s for lunch first, which is always delicious. We split the lunch sized riblings and the kickin’ shrimp appetizer, and we’re good to go! We then did a bunch of shopping and while we didn’t come out with exactly what we were looking for, we had some good success. And some Starbucks. I highly recommend the mango black tea lemonade.
When our shop was done, we headed back to our place and played with the kids for a bit.
Always time for a Paw Patrol break!
We had breakfast sandwiches and watermelon for supper, which was completely delicious, and Tims coffees that we had picked up on our way home. (This was my third caffeinated beverage of the day)
My mom left pretty quickly after supper to attend an event elsewhere and Brady and I got the kids down to bed pretty quickly thereafter. Laela asked to go pee on the potty, which was HUGE!! She didn’t pee, but she hung out on the toilet for a good while, so I called it a success!
Shortly after 7:00pm, Kim drove by to pick me up for a Starbucks date. I got the new caramelized honey iced latte. Caffeine buzz #4. Then we pursued the mall and I bought a necklace and a mug.
We called it a night shortly before 9:00 and she took me home. It was such a nice day of outings!! Now I’m home, the kids are asleep, and Brady and I are downstairs working on cabinets. Not for too long, tho. I’m totally happy about the day, but ready for bed soon 🙂
