I love one on one time.
I had a really great morning with my littlest boy. It's nice to be able to get one on one time with either of my kids anymore and I cherish it because I know how rare it is and how much rarer it will get once Lucy is born. Patrick took Joey out to his parents' house this morning to help them finish moving stuff into their new house. They left around 6:30 am and Daniel was up not too much after that. He chilled in my bed watching Handy Manny while I took a shower and got dressed and then we went to breakfast at this little diner in town called the Purcellville Family Restaurant. We've only ever gone there for breakfast, but I love it. It's cheap and good. He ordered "pancakes and bacon" for himself and I got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. Yum. I couldn't believe how much he ate. I can barely get him to touch his food most times, but put pancakes in front of him and he devours it. Breakfast for both of us was only $10.
After breakfast it was only 9 am, so we wandered down the street to the Farmer's Market that was just opening. Daniel picked out two apples, "one for Daniel, one for Mommy," which came to a grand total of .50. Everyone was getting a kick out of him wearing my sunglasses.
We wandered along the shops down 21st street, but nothing else opened until 10, so I was about to head back to the car when I decided to check the Blue Ridge Hospice Thrift Shop. Fortunately, it opened at 9 so we wandered in there. OMG, I could have gone nuts in there. It's like a yard sale on crack. They have clothes (for all ages!), shoes, purses, furniture, chotchkies, housewares, linens, movies, BOOKS, etc etc. Daniel and I putzed around in the book section (which was basically an entire used book store in itself), where I got 4 paperbacks and he picked out a little hardback book shaped like a hammer. Grand total...$1.31. Guess on Saturdays they are marked down from .50 to 25. I tried looking at the baby stuff upstairs, but Daniel just wanted to bang the hammer book on things, so I'll have to go back when he's not around. We walked back to the car and headed home...where it was only 10 am. Soo...what to do with the rest of the day?
