Thank you, everyone, for your love on yesterday’s post. From comments to Facebook messages to texts, I felt so supported, and that a great deal of people care about Waverly. I am always blown away by people caring and loving my family who aren’t required to. So for that, friends, I thank you ❤️
Onto the next!
Yesterday, we got an itch to run into Saskatoon for some quick errands. In the last few days, a few non-grocery things have graced our lists, and last night seemed like a good night to run out and get that change of scenery with the kids! So we ate hot dogs as an early supper and got the kids out and ready to go!
If you remember, Rowan got a booster seat for his birthday! With that switch, we moved seats around, and absolutely every kid is in a new spot! We worried that one or two would be unhappy, but everyone liked where they landed!!! When does that ever happen??
So Rowan and Solomon are still in the back row, but Rowan is now in that back corner and Solly is out a bit more reachable, since he’s the one who can’t buckle himself up and Rowan can. Then, Dekker used to sit on his own in the middle row, but Laela took that spot. Now Dekker sits up beside Waverly, next to the window. Wavy sits in the middle of the front row where we can more easily buckle her up, aaaaand we turned her around got forward facing! (I know, its controversial. Please no negative comments on the subject!) Everyone – EVERYONE – is happy with where they’re sitting! I don’t have pictures of the back row, because, hindsight, but the front troop was happy!
We didn’t have tons to do in the city, so we just took the straight shot down the highway and went to Walmart.
The kids were SO happy and SO happy to be out after supper, which we basically never do. We started in groceries and got the few items we needed because, while that wasn’t why we were there, it would’ve been silly not to grab it while we were there. We buy a few things only from Walmart, so we got those things, plus milk and bananas, because we always need milk and bananas. Then onto home stuff!
Our living room curtains got pulled down a few days ago 🙄 The curtain rod had already been broken and jimmied back together once, so it was pretty weak. And then a kid chose to sit on the window ledge with the curtains hanging down, sat on the curtains, and effectively tore the curtain rod off the wall. So we went to the curtain section and bought a new curtain rod – a different one that isn’t quite as easy to break. We loved the simple style of our curtain rods, but its a bit too fragile. So, new curtain rods.
We went to the back auto/paint section in search of some things, but were unsuccessful. We needed some drywall anchors, shelf brackets, etc., and they didn’t exist there. Ah well. We tried.
I went to the yarn section to feed my sickness, hahaha! I have a project brewing and I needed a couple of colours. I only found one out of three, but its a start, anyway.
Then we hit the pharmacy area for a thing or two, and headed out!
And by “out” I mean we left Walmart, but Brady ducked into Lowes for some of the things we couldn’t find at Walmart. They weren’t all at Lowes either, but we got a couple, anyway.
We got home maybe fifteen minutes after bedtime, and everyone tucked in and went down super easily. I think the outing had been a total win.
And thanks to that outing, Brady is currently installing our curtain rod, and I plan to feed my creative outlet a little bit this afternoon! Woot! With Walk Off the Earth playing on Spotify, the boys playing nicely together downstairs, and Wavy dancing in the living room, it feels like a pretty good morning! I hope you’re having the same!
