Mum and Ben's weekend...

This weekend was the reverse of the girl's and guy's weekend the other week. Peter took Joanna overnight bushwalking (which he's already blogged about) and Ben and I stayed in Hamilton. Ben and I went into the city for the morning and Ben had his first movie experience - Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. We then went to a cafe and had a nice lunch together. I was feeling a bit weary by then and wanted to go home and have a rest and Ben was starting to get a bit grouchy tired too, although because he was having so much fun he didn't want to leave the city. But wise mum won and so we came home and had a bit of a rest before getting up and playing with his train set. I was going to let him keep it up until Sunday afternoon (seeing as Joanna wasn't going to be around to wreck it), but after playing for a bit he decided he wanted to pack it up. Ben and I watched a bit of a DVD together while dinner 'cooked' (latina pasta with sauce). It was then time for bath, stories and bed.

To prove how worn out we were from Saturday, we slept in until 8:15am on Sunday morning! After getting dressed we headed off to the Hamilton Farmer's Markets for breakfast and to do the weekly fruit and veggie shopping. Breakfast was from Zingara Artisan Bread and Pastry stall, they have the yummiest pastries - Ben had a chocolate croissant for breakfast! It was then a rush to get the fruit and vegies home and then off to church and then straight afterwards we went to pick up Joanna and Peter.
