Thank you, Cyber Monday

I didn’t know Cyber Monday existed until this year. I think its the Monday after Black Friday? Anyway, we took advantage of it and ordered a new white dresser for the kids room, and a new printer. They’ve been at home for a while now. Historically, we’re bad for receiving things and then leaving them in bags or boxes forEVER!

A while ago, I started to put the dresser together by building all the drawers. Today Brady put the rest of the unit together and we finally moved it into the kids room!!! I probably spent the next hour at least rearranging their room. The wardrobe is full of all of Laela’s things, Dekker’s dress clothes, and a couple small boxes of clothes that the kids are still growing into, while the new dresser is full of Dekker’s clothes. The beauty of all of this is that we have extra space now!!! Not in the room, haha, THAT is full! But we have a couple of empty drawers for the time being, which is great! I am sooo excited to be able to pull an outfit out of somewhere and not have thirteen other articles come out with it.

Brady set up the printer while I played downstairs with the kids. We got a Canon wireless printer, and its pretty much just a newer model of our last printer. It actually prints beautifully! The only thing that annoy me is that I have to turn it on manually before printing. I know, first world problems, right? I just liked the idea of being able to print patterns or recipes off from my laptop, whether I’m in the kitchen, my bedroom, or the basement. Oh well. Legwork. Either way, I’m happy to have a new printer. I’m thinking we should it up somewhere else now. Our old one was on the floor under the desk we never use except to stack things, and Dekker has recently started playing with the buttons and opening the little scanner door. So maybe we’ll put it up higher somewhere. Who knows.

As for the rest of the day, we didn’t do too much. We had a pretty rough night and are feeling “less than motivated.” Brady and I made the genius decision to stay up late and watch a movie like we used to, so that lasted until 2am, and Laela was up at 3am. And stayed up until after 5am. Bawling. It was a challenge, and we were tired. Hopefully tonight is not a repeat. She’s had a lot more wakeful time today. I blame Saskatoon for yesterday. City days are always hard because the constant movement keeps her sleeping, and not eating. So she goes a little backwards. Its all good. We’ve done this before.

To clean this post off, I’ll tell you all to go watch my video on Facebook called “Oh, snap!” and also to view these pictures of my beautiful girl.
