Trip To PA, Part I

We flew up to Pennsylvania today for a little pre-Thanksgiving celebration, a christening and long-overdue time spent with family. Charlotte loved watching the planes land and take off while waiting for our flight. She was (surprisingly) very well behaved en route thanks to a tip from one of our friends - take the car seat onto the plane and buckle her in; it simulates a car ride and keeps her from wandering all around.



Daddy fell asleep before take-off (how does he do it?) and I pulled out a little surprise...





Charlotte was seriously occupied with dressing, removing the outfits and redressing Ariel. Such a great in-flight toy - small enough and no noise!

After our arrival we headed over to Nana and Papaw's house for yummy hogmaw (my most favorite dinner in the world), homemade apple crisp and mini cupcakes...

Tuckered Out

Happy Halloween!

I headed out with Charlotte for trick-or-treat while Daddy stayed behind and manned the candy station this year (next year it'll be Daddy's turn!). She chitter chattered the. Entire. Way. It was quite funny. I was sure to keep asking her, "Do you still want to keep going?" To which she would respond, "Yes, of course Mommy!" I mean, all gussied up and lugging around a pumpkin full of candy, she had to be tired - right?

We got down to the bottom of the third street and guess who I had to carry all the way back home red boots and all?

The Morning Fairy

No sooner did we wake up this morning, Charlotte walked into the kitchen like this...



It was 7AM.

A New Family Tradition

Since Charlotte was born we have made a point of heading over to a small, local pumpkin patch to pick up seasonal items and to capture the yearly photo. This year though, since Charlotte is SO into it, we decided to try something new...Burt's Farm.

We were a little hesitant...an hour and a half drive, thoughts of a million people and another recent trip to the ER for my tummy, but we persevered and Burt's certainly didn't disappoint...

A post-park treat...



Love that little mug :)
