Strange Fridge Occurrence, A Day Out, and A Night Off

I opened the refrigerator to make breakfast yesterday and found Malcolm’s dry food in the fridge. Jimmy must have been really tired when he fed him before he left for work!

Jimmy is known to leave things in strange places early in the morning. He once poured iced tea into a water bottle and set the pitcher on top of the fridge instead of back inside it. 

We had a busy day yesterday! Sadie, Niva, and I drove out to a local park to meet up with other moms at our church for Youth Summer Days. We had such a great time talking, playing, and relaxing with everyone!

Sadie is related to most of the kids her age out our church so she got to hang out with a few of her cousins! She and Caroline, my sister’s daughter, even got to ride in a double stroller together.

After we left the park, we drove home, took a quick shower, and I dropped her off at Jimmy’s work so his dad could take her home with him (they work together!) and my in-laws watched Sadie for the evening.

So, so thankful for a night off and that she got some quality time with her grandparents! She got quite the royal treatment, too. They went shopping at Rural King and got to see the little chicks, went out to eat, and even stopped to smell some roses 🙂

Jimmy and I had quite the wild night to ourselves. I had to do some real estate work and I brushed out a bit of Niva’s undercoat. Party animals over here 😉

I finished up my work just in time for us to go to Hobby Lobby before they closed. I was on a mission to get another stepping stone kit so we could make a mold of Sadie’s foot print like we did last year. 

It was a full, fun, and awesome day!

Have you ever left things in strange place when you’re tired?

What do you do when you have a night or day off?

My heart is so full from the past few days!

We attended the graduation party I mentioned the other day and it was so very special. Tara, Jimmy’s stepsister, graduated from college and her birth mom and half-siblings came to the party as a surprise! So cool.

Sadie had a blast running all around her grandparents’ yard during the party.

Sunday was my birthday and mine and Jimmy’s sixth wedding anniversary. On top of that, it was our first Sunday back to church!

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it felt to be back with our church family after three months apart. I pretty much had the same look as Sadie in the picture below during the whole service.

Sadie was sporting another homemade dress for the special occasion!

Yeah, it was a good day. I was totally spoiled with birthday gifts from family and friends. I was given coffee and candles and Jimmy surprised me by saying we’re going to go camping soon!

Jimmy and I spent the afternoon playing with Sadie. I put paint at the top of her slide and let her drive one of her toy trucks down it and she thought that was pretty cool 🙂
