Saturday morning shenanigans!

This saturday we woke up with the intention of heading to a neighborhood yard sale, only to find out when we arrived that is was just a bunch of junk and no real treasures as the add had promised. We moved on to our second stop, the farmer's market. Which was a very successful trip! We picked up some blueberries, strawberries, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, kale, tomatoes, radishes and peas.

We're ready for our day!


Hayden loves peas!

I have a new found love of radishes!

We all love strawberries! 

Later on I made kale chips with the kale we bought. 


Easy and Yummy! 

EDIT:
Recipe for kale chips

a couple handfuls of kale (I measured by filling my colander)
1 TBS olive oil
season salt of your choice to taste.(I put it in my hand first to distribute it evenly) 

place on non-insulated baking sheet
on parchment paper
bake 10 mins on 300 or until they have crispy edges

The times they are a changin'

This was suppose to be my post from yesterday, however this blog was down, so that didn't happen.

Wednesday I had a 3 and 1/2 hour lunch, I had to take 2 extra hours because of the staff meeting we were going to have on Thursday. I met Joshua and Hayden at our local farmers market and we went to the restaurant there.




It has down home southern food. I had a fried chicken sandwich (shoot me I ate something fried), Joshua had a pimento cheese sandwich, and Hayden had chicken and dumplings. I was pretty proud of Hayden for trying something new, and he seemed to enjoy it too!


The Conversation at lunch lead to Joshua and I discussing trading in our car. I love my car but doing this just makes more sense. I think we are looking into getting a hatchback/ station wagon like car. These are some of the ones we're looking at, does anyone have anymore suggestions?
