this weekend was another successful one. sunny and family bonding time.
Saturday we decided not to think about house hunting dilemma, instead we focused on our young family time together.
we went to the swimming pool, then we went to our local farmer’s market and antique shops. hubby was impressed about the items you can find there. quality items with the fraction of the price you might buy even at Walmart.
we then went to donate some of my clothes to a charity. for lunch we had sushi, for dessert we had banana bread, strawberry vanilla ice-cream.

after lunch i caught up with my blog reading and commenting.
in the evening we had salad and cheese toast
Sunday we went to church. after the service we stopped for a cup of tea. then we wanted to go for a meal with my friend and her daughter. two restaurants of our choice were closed, so we decided to go to Las Palapas, a mexican restaurant near by. at the door there was a sign reading STROLLERS PARKING AREA. because AOI was sleeping and they weren’t many costumers hubby went to ask if they would consider letting us in with our stroller, they refused. well, they lost four clients and we are going to write a review about their general costumer care.
in the end we decided to get together next weekend. hubby and i went home for our lunch. after lunch and a nap for AOI we went to a children’s water play area with another family. i was standing by one of the feature when a little boy came and turned around of the water features spraying water on AOI, she didn’t like it. she was crawling away screaming when i picked her up and a little girl came to us. she was so sweet, she caressed AOI’s cheek, in response my little girl caressed the girls’ nose in her own special way
“she gave me a hi5 on the face.” the little girl said smiling.
“yeah.” i smiled back. the little girl’s older brother of about two years came by.
“what happened?” he asked about the cry AOI let out when the little boy sprayed the water. we told him what happened. he went to stand by the water play feature and said “i am protecting her from this water.”
it was so sweet to witness how much children are caring and nice to babies and other children. i also find that people warm up so easily to my daughter, she has an halo which people cannot resist. i am so blessed to have her.
when we got home i watched a film and tv program on Netflix.
for dinner hubby prepared and BBQ some burgers

and i prepared the salad.

we didn’t eat all the burgers. we have five left for another meal.
i love our team. and as you can see this week was about getting out and about and eat food-food-food. AOI had wonderful naps, giving us time to chillax.
i am really happy how the weekend went, hope yours was good too.
have a great week!
