Family Day

I decided Sundays were now going to be titled "Family Day". We will spend the entire day doing things together. No chores (okay little to no - we still need to try and keep a clean house), electronics, or home improvement...We had our first one today, and it went something like this:

At 9:30 am, hubby, babygirl and I embark on a 3 mile walk. I should've went to Zumba with my sister, but our gym had cancelled class due to a blood drive and I didn't want to head to Nash Dancecenter for 2 reasons (not a fan of the instructors and didn't want to pay for a class). So 3 mile walk it was. 

When we returned hubby cooked us all omlettes. Made to order omlettes. I know you are jealous. He is a keeper. 

Next we were rushing to make mass. My soldierboy was an altar boy for the service. And us, well we are always so timely, NOT! For some reason, we are 10 minutes behind the rest of the world, unless we are going to a drive-in movie - but I am getting to that.

Following mass, we decided to head to Warwick, NY. The plan was to go to the drive-in to see Ted. On the way we thought we would hit up Farmer's markets to get some fresh vegetables and goodies. We are really trying to eat healthier in this household.

First stop, Lafayette Village. We arrived a little tardy. What?! That surprises you? Doesn't surprise us. Although there were still a couple stands, most had or were in the process of packing up. Their loss cause we had dollars to spend. We ended up spending $23. We got 3 green peppers, 2 big tomatoes, 2 croissants, a jar of salsa, and a jar of jalapeno jam (that'd be for the hubby). SCORE!

At this point we were starving, but since we only had 20 minutes until we hit Warwick, we chose to wait until we were in town to grab something to eat. That is when we stopped at our next Farmer's market, Pennings. Here they have a Harvest Grill (and beer garden for those drinkers out there). I was a little grossed out (okay, that is an understatement - more like a LOT) by the amount of flies in there. I hung in there and placed my order which I was regretting as the minutes passed by waiting for my food. I am happy that I stuck it out. The food was ah-mah-zing! My turkey burger was the bomb. So full of flavor and it came on a wheat bun. Hubby's grilled chicken with mozzarella and pesto looked good too. I didn't try it, but I took his word on it. Soldierboy, went with his usual standby, chicken fingers. Yes, he is a work in progress with the healthy options. $28 for a late lunch and $13.25 for zucchini bread and blueberry pomegrante jam.

By now it is 4:30 and 4 hours until the movie starts. We drive around for a bit but find NOTHING to do. Then babygirl reminds us that she hasn't had lunch yet by her piercing scream. Any of you moms that nurse can relate. Babygirl is fed, and there is still 3 and a half hours to go. Oh the torture. Apparently if we aren't late then we are too early for the party. We'll get this right one of these times. Long story short, we decide to skip the drive-in.

We meet up with my sister back home. Babygirl and I walk another 3 miles; hubby and soldierboy practice hitting and catching. Hubby takes soldierboy to theater by my house to see Ted.

All in all, I would call it a success. $64.25 (excluding gas and movie). Time was spent together. Without electronics. With those I love.

Definitely doing something again next Sunday, together.
