Myyyyy milkshake brings all the kids to the city! Thats how the song goes, right? 😆
Cher is hanging out with me and the kids today, as we find ourselves without our Brady. This morning, she asked me what I was going to blog about, and at that point, I didn’t have a plan. She made a joke about how my blog would bring all the boys to the yard. That idea spiralled and we ended up loading the kids into the van and heading to the city for milkshakes, among other things.
We listened to Christmas music as we meandered our way in. We stopped at the post office, ran an errand or two, and stopped at McDonalds on our way home to fulfill the promise of milkshakes for Cher and I, and an unnamed treat for the kids. Chocolate chip cookies it was. They were exciting, and completely content with just sitting in the van while I ran into a couple of places and picked up a couple of things.
It was a super relaxed morning, and our “field trip” was exactly what the doctor ordered, because we got home right at lunch time! Woot! The kids tidied up their stuff, and ate their lunch better than usual, considering the promise of the cookie at the end.
Now, 3/5 are down and the other two are quietly colouring and drawing together. Meanwhile, Cher and I are both a bit tired and achy, but will be powering through, as there is never a shortage of things to do. Have I said on here that she got into a bit of an accident the other day? She is SO achy from the stress and tension, and without stealing her thunder, I am SO achy, too! Sympathy stress, I suppose. Sympathy tension. But we’re both sore and and sleepy, so we’re a bit of an odd pair!
Wish us luck for the rest of the day! These kids are SO good and SO chill, and if they day could run out this way, that would be ideal! ❤️ Lifting people is extra tricky for both of the adults around here! And also, no vomit would be great, too!
