A Weekend Affair

We had a busy old weekend my son and I.
First wake up 4am (me not him) then off to the markets
So Flemington markets we are here let us through your doors.
At the markets we picked up these little mandarins that are about half the size of the normal ones but are twice as tasty. Josh and I used to pick them up when we went down there before I had my little man. So this has been my one craving, not just mandarins but little sweet juicy delicious mandarins. But as we walked through the door of the fruit market we were greeted by a little pastry man who exclaimed it was to early for such a little boy and he deserved a croissant and promptly gave him one. Which he loved to no end. So after that we headed over to the flower market to pick up some flowers for my lovely friends and my mother. Back into the fruit market to pick up some strawberries and blueberries because the ones in Coles looked revolting, then off we went.
Next stop to see my beautiful nephew and my sister in law. I had multiple cups of tea and lots of chats with my sister in law but that boy just kept sleeping. As babies do they sense when they should be sleeping and they stay awake and visa versa. So eventually I think my sister in law woke him up and I got  a quick little cuddle and Hastings got to see his little cousin. They did a little E.T. finger thing but my nephew is 5 months younger then Hastings so not ready to play yet but it wont be long. They are so close in age they will be good buddies.
So back down their hill and over to the excessively busy kings st.
Finally after a lap or two we found a car space and waited for some people to arrive. As long as I don't get lost I have a habit of being early. So I met up with my lovely high school friends and had a lovely salad and hamburger lunch and I supplied some cupcakes for dessert. Hastings at this stage said he had had enough and was sick of being awake so after dessert we promptly took our tired tails back to the car and headed home.
Home by 4 Hastings had a walk with his Gramps and I took a 30 min nap that was more then wanted it was a necessity. We then had dinner with the family and headed home where I promptly crashed and died for the entire night. Thank goodness my baby can sleep.
The next day the dad and mum cleaned house. I love playing house except when it gets dirty. No really I keep our place pretty tidy as I have not much to do during the day but our bedroom has slowly been ganging up on us. Hubby has a trillion clothes so he had the job of sending some to a better home where they will be loved and worn. Then after a break I took up 7 pairs of pants and did a couple of sewing projects that have been patiently waiting for quite some time.
So that was my weekend busy but lovely.
Just a note while I was away in Sydney Hubby watched the NFL draft then wnet and had a big Sushi lunch with my bro and then they went and saw a movie. He had quite a bit of his own fun.
