We have had a really wonderful October this year. It has been great to get to experience all of our favorite fall activities with Charlotte this year! We were lucky that she is at such a fun age during October. This month we have had a whole bunch of treats and just a couple tricks!
We have really enjoyed spending time with friends, going to pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and out to lunch with family and friends. One special treat we have had recently was to meet my Aunt Paula in Fredericksburg, just a little drive up 95 for us. She had not yet got to meet little C and was passing through Virginia on a business trip so we got to meet and have lunch. Here is a picture of all three of us! Aunt Paula was one of my favorite people as a child and I know that C thought she was super cool too!
This past weekend I really walked into a major trick. I always get all these great ideas, much of the time thanks to all the blogs and pinteresting I read. Well, I got it in my mind that I wanted to make caramel apples. Jay so positively blogged about it here, but he was way off! They were not good at all- he very politely refused to eat them! They looked okay, but were crazy to eat! The two that I tried had to be pried out of my mouth using the toothpick that we used for dipping.......a major fail. What a trick! The moms did warn me, did I listen no! Caramel is so tricky!
But at the end of the day, who cares about rock hard caramel when you have this little flower giggling and cooing at you!
Hope your Halloween is filled with more treats than tricks!
