Super Sunday~!

Hey everybody~!

Firstly, Happy Memorial Day.
Also!! I'd like to share with you the great Sunday that we had yesterday. It was just...really rejuvinating and stimulating and fun :)

It started off with letting Dash sleep in while I whipped up yet another pair of wool soaker pants (!!) and then a trip to Church with the kiddos. At the coffee hour following mass, I met another local translator and got to speak to a lady about creating more family-socializing opportunities. Man, the community at the First Presbyterian is so warm and welcoming :)

On the walk back, we came upon a moving sale where we scored a paper organizer for Ella's drawing station + loads of painting supplies (including palette knife, paintbrushes, and like 20 tubes/jars of acrylic paints of every color)...all for $7!! I swear, the folks that we bought them from were Hipsters with a capital "H". Like, the epitome of what a Hipster couple looks like and what they would collect (old records, kitch jewelry, and vintage dresses). But they were so nice to throw in all these other items that we asked about like a cassette tape, guitar strings, pens/pencils, and pencil holder. You gotta love garage/moving sales, amiright?

The paper organizer. Let's hope it keeps this space tidy!!
After that, we hung at home, did some cleaning/tidying, and a little more sewing/mending too!
Then we headed out as a family to hit up this really neat local restaurant deal. What we did was visit both of the McMenamin's restaurants in town, take snapshots of ourselves next to particular pieces of art in both locations, and we got free burgers and tater tots!! It was a great excuse to take a stroll around town, and a very generous offer by McMenamin's, don't you agree? It was a little chaotic with the two kiddos wanting to romp all over the place, but I didn't mind as much as I would if I was paying full price for a "restaurant experience" -- it just reminded me why we needn't be eating out until the kids are a little older (maybe 2+ for William because gosh that kid likes to run away!!).

Aaaanyway, it was all-in-all a really sweet day.
Until next time, take care and I hope you all had a Super Sunday!!
