Today was another low key, put productive day for us. I spent the morning doing some more cleaning around the house, lots of laundry and going through my coupons/making my shopping list for the week. Once I was finally done and ready to go, Olivia and I headed to Target for our weekly shopping (though, it’s been a while since we’ve had our regular weekly shopping schedule in place...part of the whole getting back on track thing). Olivia LOVES shopping with me, and it’s even better on sample day since that keeps her pretty occupied the entire trip! Since I don’t have my check card anymore, I had to take Christian’s card and get some cash – meaning, take a wild guess on how much I would be spending. More difficult since I needed diapers, dog food, laundry detergent, etc. on top of groceries. I took out $200 and prayed it would be enough. As we were in line, Olivia was begging me for this little $3.00 princess phone by the register. I promised her that if we had money left over, she could buy it. We ended up getting $5.00 back in change, so she went and picked out a phone and paid for it all by herself. Such a big girl, and she was SO excited about it. And, YAY for me for being just about perfect on my shot in the dark. I know my shopping expenses, that’s for sure!
When we arrived home, Amelia was already down for a nap, so we ate some lunch, and Olivia went down. Christian took my car in for a (way overdue) oil change, then he did a little more picking up in the garage while I relaxed. We all spent the evening hanging out…we played for a while, had some dinner, then the girls went right into the bath. While Christian was outside, the girls and I had some ice cream and watched “Tangled” before bed. Before I knew it, the day was over and we were all tucked in for the night. I’m looking forward to another relaxing weekend coming up, this was perfect!
Here is a picture I got of the girls tonight…clean, bedtime snack and watching a movie. Perfect end to a great weekend!
