Day Date

Making (Cat) Friends, An Interview, and Day Date

The kids and I walked to our local park and saw not one but two cats on the playground. Oh my word was Sadie excited. She played with those cats for a good 30 minutes and Mordecai had a blast petting them as well.

The one cat looked pregnant to me and I mentioned it to Sadie. A few minutes later, Sadie asked to FaceTime Jimmy and she burst out saying “Dad! You won’t believe this! There’s two cats at the park and one is pregnant!” haha. She wanted to take that cat home so badly! I have a feeling we will be frequenting this particular park often now 😜

An Impromptu Day Date

I wish I could say Jimmy and I went on a lovely, relaxing day date together (kind of like this one!), but that’s not what this post is about 😂 Instead, the poor guy came home from work early on Tuesday because he wasn’t feeling well.

I know it’s hard to rest with a young child in the house, and it’s especially hard with Sadie because she adores Jimmy and wants to play with him anytime he’s home. Like, if he’s on the couch, she’s literally on top of him just talking and living her best life. Definitely not what you need when you’re feeling under the weather 😆

So, I got Jimmy settled into bed and Sadie and I went off on an impromptu day date so he could have some peace and quiet.

Our first stop was Build-A-Bear! I hadn’t taken Sadie there since January 2021 and we had a gift card that I had been saving for an occasion just like this! She built a mermaid bear and was very polite and sweet with the workers. It was a fun experience to have together. (more…)
