Here we go, a lovely fall Saturday in the Virginia hills...
12am- I got into bed
2am- I fell asleep BOOO!
6:30 am- Finn wakes up, I feed him in bed off and on, we both go back to sleep
9am- Finn wakes up, Daddy gets up, changes the boy, dresses and takes him downstairs
10:00am- I wake up and get dressed
10:30am- I attempt to make protein pumpkin pancakes, turned out I used Eric's creatine instead of protein powder. Drowned them in maple syrup to take away bitterness, and they were good. WILL. HAVE. MASSIVE. MUSCLES!
11:00am-We head to Charlottesville Farmers Market. Colorful fall wares and produce abound!
mmmmmums
local apples
Cuz Sylas finishing up his homemade popsicle
I was distracted by jewelry while looking for a birthday present for a 5 year old, ended up getting her the "A" charm on a pink ribbon chain.
more distraction
12:00- We went to Xfit Cville for Olympic lifting class. We worked on snatches. Finntastic hangs out in his seat and looks cute.
2:00pm- We came back home (home being Annie's for our stay in VA) I fed the boy and ate delicious carrot soup, showered and got ready to go out again!
3:00pm- We left for aforementioned 5 year old's bday party and drove by our future home on the way!
3:15- We arrived at Ava's party. Her family lives on this gorgeous old estate. The house mansion is full of eclectic art, statues, and often unidentifiable weird, cool stuff.

crazy candle face things
Molly dog and statue look alike. Ava's Gma Trixie said (with thick German accent) "if you dog kills one of my birds, I will be at your throat!" They have peacocks roaming the grounds. Hence Molly on the leash.

5:00- I fed the boy
6:00- It was time to go home and eat dinner part II and hang out with the fam.
 salad, cukes, steak |

9:00- I went to Dr. Ho's Humble Pie for a last call beer with Eric and Irish Anne while the Aunties watched Finn.
10:00- We arrive home to boy. Bath time!
10:30 pm- The boy is soundly asleep!
Midnight: Mom and dad hit the hay.
Wow! Such a beautiful place and great adventures.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog! Pumpkin pancakes yummm we tried some pumpkin pancakes recently...made them with almond flour, coconut milk, egg, pumpkin, plus spices to taste....came out pretty good. What do you put in yours? Anyway, miss seeing you all at TFCF. :)

Thanks Sara ! We are having fun ! When I make the pancakes correctly , I just use 2 eggs, a scoop of protein powder, some vanilla, a tablespoon of flax seed, and a smashed up banana, or pumpkin (then I use pie spice) that makes 2 big pancakes . Miss you guys too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun action packed day! Your new house looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to steal a picture from your day to put on the post linking to everyone's days, okay?
Thanks for doing this! Fun to read.
Creatine instead of protein... hehehe
