As noted the other day, last weekend we had lots of quality family time. On Sunday we gathered ourselves up for a trip to
Eastern Market to look for some furniture. (We had luck last time when we went to The Georgetown Market, see my post
here). We like these kinds of markets.
It was a beautiful sunny morning. We drove and found a great parking spot. Right in the gate, we stopped at the first stall. Wooden toys! The kids were all googly and well even Jocelyn wanted one (she LOVES toys). Jocelyn actually bought a gift for a friend. Vera was insistent on getting a little green car. Jonah wanted all of them!!! I told him he could only get one and if he got something here, he could not get something later. And I was actually completely surprised when he told me, "Ok mom, I don't want one... I am going to wait..." That kid surprises the pants off me every day! He seems like the instant gratification, I want it now, kind of kid! Most of the time he absolutely is... but at that moment. He wanted to wait... as I like to say, "go Jonah go!"
We didn't find any furniture we liked. But we did eat some empanadas from the empanada stand, pickles from the pickle guy and smoothies from the smoothie crew. And we hung out and and listened to some very fun music. Jonah drank his smoothie but Vera boogied her booty across the dance floor!
We did get something at Eastern Market last weekend. It just wasn't for sale and we didn't have to pay for it (except for the pickles, smoothies, empanadas and wooden toy) - it was "family fun time" and that as the commercial says is "PRICELESS!"
Don't worry, our lives are far from perfect... there were plenty of temper tantrums back at the house... mine, Jocelyn's and the kids!
