To the market we go.....

Today while the older kids were in school, Gabe and I headed out to the local market in Gricignano to stock up on some fruit and fresh veggies. You can get a lot more there compared to the commissary where a small bunch of cilantro cost $3.50 and a small cantaloupe can go for $5.00. They sell food, clothing, housewares, and other goods.It's always interesting there! I like to hear the different vendors shouting over each other trying to sell their goods to prospective buyers.

Afterwards, we had lunch with Trent at Applebees and I treated Gabe to some Baskin Robbins ice cream. He surprised me by trying something other than the usual cookies-n-cream or strawberry. Today he ventured into new territory...mango sherbet with sprinkles!!! It's funny because he goes there so often they know him by name and know his favorites.

On another note, yesterday was the first day of soccer practice for Noah and Gabriel. As you will see in the pictures below my toddler did not want to have anything to do with it. Although he did join in and help when practice was over. LOL That silly boy he talked about it all day long , was anxious to get ready and put his new shin guards on, but that all changed when we got to the field. Alas....he'll warm up. I HOPE!!

Ciao....
