Back in the 'Hood

 Wednesday we got to go to Sprouts. If you followed the blog last summer, you know just how much we loved Sprouts!

Finn ran straight for the toys...
 I spent most of my morning in the cafe... 
 I love getting to sit in the cafe and catch up on things while Finn plays happily in the next room.
  Finn just loves his teacher at Sprouts, Karissa.   
They have a cool bond.
Karissa is the one who watched Finn last time we were here...
so I could join Tosh at the Christmas Party
The other day we got room service and Finn wanted to eat on the bed. We told him to eat at the desk. He said "Karissa lets me eat on the bed!!"  He still talks about his evening with Karissa. He loved it!

 After Sprouts we headed over to Goody's.  Goody's was the pizza place right by our old apartment. The owner is the sweetest lady. She really helped us love our neighborhood. It was great walking out the door and walking by to have someone who knew our names and would say hi to us.
 Finn's grandparents gave him money to spend on the trip. He has been finding the cheapest stuff he can find to buy (hmmm wonder where he gets that from).  This dollhouse looked like he had already played with it five years when it came out of the package.  When he bought it he said "is this girl toys?"  I said "it is whoever plays with it toy."   He was so proud of his "girl toys"  I guess he sees all his little girl friends have these types of things and he wanted to too. 
 I wanted a picture of Finn and Vanessa.  He was being bashful.  
 It was so good to see her.  She would not let me pay for our lunch.  She is so sweet. We appreciate our lunch!
It felt so good to be back in the 'hood!  Felt like home. 

If you are ever in Arlington, Va or the D.C. area, please stop by Goody's and say hi to Vanessa.
