Our Sunday - markets, kombis and food.

My mum offered to mind the boys for a few hours on Sunday and Simon and I jumped at the chance to check out the markets and go to lunch.
We pottered around the local organic markets and bought a couple of candles, soap and some new succulents for the garden. It was so good to just wander around, just the two of us.
We then drove up to Palm Beach for lunch. The drive was all part of the fun.We took the kombi and had the windows open and the breeze streaming in.Pure Sunday driving.

We ate at Cranky Fins, which has a very cool, casual surf shack vibe. I love a restaurant with a unique decor.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at home with the boys potting up the succulents and getting ready for the new school week. 

How was your weekend?

Celebrating our anniversary

Simon and I had a wonderful day on Tuesday celebrating our anniversary. Finn and Jasper were at school/kindy so we only had Noah with us :) We decided to have a lovely lunch out and you can't get any prettier than The Boathouse at Palm Beach. We also love the drive up there and as Noah slept in the car it was perfect.

The Boathouse was packed as it was the most gorgeous sunny day but we found a table in the courtyard in the shade. Everything looked delicious and I decided to order the vegetable frittata but when I was told that they had sold out I opted for the fish n chips. Yum! Simon had the Chicken panini and a small serve of salt and pepper calamari.  Noah decided to wake and join us for a hot chip or two. I love a lunch out,  I think I prefer them to dinners out. Not too sure why that is :)

We were going to go out for a cocktail and tapas and had a babysitter lined up but as Noah was a bit unsettled the night before we decided to send the older boys to the grandparents for dinner and a sleepover and pop Noah to bed ourselves.  Once he was in bed, we rustled up a little antipasto platter and cracked a bottle of champagne that we were given ages ago. Then we just sat and talked and laughed. It was great and such a change from our normal night time routine with the boys. It really made us realise that we have to take more time for just the two of us.

I decided to start a champagne chair collection which will remind us of happy, celebratory times. The one from Tuesday night will be the first one :)

Our Sunny Sunday :)

How gorgeous was the weather in Sydney yesterday?!

It was the perfect Spring day. Blue skies,warm breeze. So beautiful!!

Hubby's pride & joy and my competition!

You can see Jasper in the background (red tshirt) having a race with a little friend he made.

We drove up to Palm Beach for fish & chips.

The boys enjoyed running around on the sand and Jasper braved the water for a little paddle. Still a bit too chilly!

The markets were on and everyone was out and about enjoying this wonderful Sunday.

We had a great day. Nothing to do and nowhere to be. It was just perfect.

Love this restaurant :)

Pittwater. It was the perfect day to be out on the water.

Hmmm who do I know that owns a boat?!
