Great Saturday

So Saturdays aren't usually my favorite. Eric works a lot of the time on Saturdays and it always makes me sad that my husband isn't at home to enjoy and everyone else's are. (Not really, I know, but it seems like it). So today I decided that it was going to be a fun Saturday none-the-less. Zechariah woke up a little cranky and I was pretty tired and had a leftover headache from yesterday so I just knew that if we stayed home we'd end up miserable. So here's our day:

I skipped a shower and we were out the door by 8/8:30.

We went to the Rochester farmer's market where Anna was working. We walked around, bought some baked goods from the Breadwinner, some coffee and some produce.

Then we walked up to downtown Rochester on an endeavor to find Zechariah some shoes. To no avail. Even the expensive baby store didn't have any! But oh well. We walked a lot and enjoyed the beautiful, cool fall weather.

Then we got in a fender bender with a very polite, apologetic 17 year old boy. He was so polite that the interaction actually brightened up my day a little!

Then we went to Eric's work and brought him some yummy market food which he was very excited about. Then we told him we were in a fender bender which he was slightly less excited about. Then we came home.

Then Zechariah and I played outside for an hour and a half or so. He played and threw rocks and sticks and I weeded and cleaned up the some of the gardens for fall. It was great.

Then we went for a walk on the sidewalk (he LOVES walking on the sidewalk) to the tool rental place around the block to see if they rent out lawn rollers. They don't but Zechariah had fun. They had a counter that flipped up and Zechariah walked right under it and hung out with the guy back there for a while looking at cars and stuff. Zechariah felt very cool and was even offered a job :)

Then it was time to come home and Zechariah had a yummy lunch of organic macaroni and cheese and milk.

Now he's in bed taking a nap and I will be too when I'm done with this post.

I love having wonderful mommy/baby days. Not every day is like this but I love the ones that are. I love seeing my little guy learn and have fun. And his new word today is stick. It's very cute :)
