The Saturdayest Friday

So yesterday – Thursday – was such a Friday. You know those days? Our family went to a birthday party, ate treats, and stayed out past the kids bedtimes. We knew Brady was home the next day (today) and everything. It just felt like a Friday. The Fridayest Thursday ever.

Today feels very much like a Saturday, except for the fact that Dekker is at school! The rest of us are together, and we spent the morning doing a big, overdue grocery shop. We’re trying to be better at eating the food we have on hand, and not always just buying the food we’re hungry for in the moment. But this week got tricky as we ran out of fresh stuff altogether, and even got low on some pantry stuff. I feel like we never run out of our canned goods, but when I used the last tin of tomato sauce on tacos, I knew it was time to stock back up. Also, cheese. Can anyone else not survive a day without eating cheese??? Its next to impossible over here.

In fact, I highly recommend you try this.

Yup, its what you you think it is. Waffle grilled cheese. Make a waffle, and then once its done, throw some cheese in there while its still int he waffle maker, fold it in half, and give it another moment in there to get all gooey. You won’t be disappointed. Neither will your children. These suckers melt in your mouth, no word of a lie.

Aaaaanyway, back to our shop. We. Bought. Everything. Even indulged in one or two things. Don’t worry, we made them earn it.

Lots of people at Costco recognize us, whether because of our kids or my hair or something else. Today, one of the ladies that passes out samples stopped up to chat and flirt with Rowan, and said she remembered us. Fun fact, though. We don’t usually take advantage of the samples!!! So she’s just seen us in passing!! I thought that was pretty crazy, and kind of hilarious. Also kind of terrifying to know if we ever do something super embarrassing in public, someone is gonna know…

We’re home now, and naps are in the works. Perogies, sausage, and roasted veggies are on the menu tonight!

And maybe some cheese puffs, just so they shut their little cheesy mouths and stop taunting me.
