Yesterday was a bit of a cute day. But also a very long day. A tiring day. I’ll tell you all about it.
Wavy invited me on a walk, so we did that first thing. It was very cute.
She wanted to bring a dandelion to grandma’s, so we left one by her gate, lol! And then went home for lunch!
While she napped, I crocheted a cute coffee sleeve with pumpkins on it. Thanks, Cher, for the WAY nicer picture than the one I snapped in my house!
I thought it turned out cute 🙂
Brady finished his workday a little early and went into Saskatoon to test drive a minivan. It was a total bust :/ PLEASE keep your eyes open for something for him! Minivan. Dual sliding doors. Stow and go seats. Dodge or Chrysler, usually. Please and thank you.
Once that was done, he took on the massive chore of doing a HUGE family grocery shop. The first big one since probably June. ALL on his own. I would love to do these shops with Waverly in the week, but the aspect of only having one vehicle makes it extra tricky. So yesterday, he took that hit, and did a gigantic Costco shop for us 💜
Thankfully, a couple of loving people have filled our fridge with fresh fruit and veggies, so that was one less section to hit, haha!
Brady also hit Walmart and got some of that off-white “parchment” yarn we chatted about in the comments a couple of blogs back. I’m SO excited for that next blanket! Ack!
While Brady shopped like crazy, our day wore on like usual. Kids got fed. Did homework. Played. Fought. Read. Etc. Bedtime came on time, and everyone went down pretty nicely. Until I heard a door crack open from where I was sitting in the living room. I looked up and could see which door it wasn’t, meaning it was Wavy’s door. And it is very unlike her to get up when she’s tucked in.
She stepped out into view, and her chin was quivering. She was trying to keep her composure but finally burst into tears, saying her curtain was falling down. So I went to her and we went to check on her curtain.
Sure enough, one side of the curtain rod had popped off the wall. It was totally fine. I could easily put it back up there. But she was spooked. I turned around to reassure her, and she was surrounded.
The big kids had tucked her back into her bed and had joined her, being close and comfy and trying to reassure her and cheer her up. She wasn’t having it…
But she did stop crying, lol!
Once she was tucked back in and settled, Brady drove up, and the mad unpacking of groceries began. It was a gigantic haul. There is really no reasonable excuse for anyone eating that much food ever in their lifetime. But hey. Now we shouldn’t have to shop for a while again! Hopefully we have a second vehicle by then, lol!
Yesterday was big. Today is big too, but in a more fun way 💜 Thank you Lord for constantly blessing us!
