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?

The Three Musketeers

Just before Jimmy comes home from work I like to open up our front door so everyone can greet him when he walks up our sidewalk. When I hear his truck rumbling up the street I say “Dad’s home!” and Sadie, Malcolm, and Mavis all go to the front door to welcome him home.

I think I’m going to start calling these little rascals the three musketeers. They are already so mischievous together! Sadie feeds Mavis from her high chair, I caught Malcolm and Sadie playing in the toilet together this week, and Sadie chases Mavis around the house with her baby doll stroller.

They’re quite the trio and always up to something! Jimmy and I just realized yesterday that we welcomed a new family member three years in a row when we thought about how Malcolm is three-years-old, Mavis is two, and Sadie is one. Eek!! They sure do make our lives fun 🙂
