Jessi and I were able to get our monkeys together for another farmers' market playdate. It's been a while ! (We went a lot last year, but this year has kind of gotten away from us.)
Pics from last year's market play dates.
The boys wore us out at usual, but had a great time. Jessi and I both went home with a bag full of farm fresh veggie goodness. I bought a bag of sweet potatoes from one of my favorite local farms and plan to experiment with a sweet potato hash recipe that Jessi has been having great success with.
Gavin was surprised when I came home with a bunch of kale. He said, "Yuck mama, I don't like kale." And I said, "Yes you do, you eat it all the time." "No, I don't," he said. And then I spilled the beans about how I've been sneaking kale into one his favorite treats for over a year now - the banana and blueberry smoothie. He was very shocked to learn this. "Bad mama!," he squealed. I replied, "No, smart mama!"
While I was mostly excited about the fresh produce, Gavin and Milo enjoyed the fall fest aspects of the market. They both asked for the rainbow tiger face paint, spent time in the petting zoo area, and really really enjoyed bobbing for vegetables and playing on the light rail deck (no trains on Sunday). On the way back to our car we explored a playground we haven't been to before. It was a great day.
Between 5K and Farmers' Market activities we had a productive weekend at home. I studied some, Casey made great progress on a closet makeover project, and I painted the hope chest I am refurbishing for the nursery.
