Two Posts in One Day. Wha What?

What I did on my summer...I mean Thanksgiving...vacation:

Did some swinging.


Listened to secrets from Aunt Joann.


Chilled out with my new buddy...Buddy.


Chased some kitties.


Beed cute. (There's a whole series of these found here. Trust me it's worth a click)


Played outside with Dad.


Posed with the fam.


Played charades. Two words. It's a dance move....Sprinkler Dance!


Watch a movie with my bro.


Looked cherubic.


And at the end of the day I jammed as many applesauce cookies as possible into my mouth gerbil style by the double fistfuls. And I was thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are whirlwind touring across North Carolina once again. We started in Black Mountain, then went our separate ways - Eric to a conference in Atlanta, the boys and me to see my Mom at the beach. We spent four unseasonably beautiful days in Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hills. It was warm enough to frolic on the beach...some of us in our skivvies.

Today we're back in Black Mountain celebrating a lovely Thanksgiving with Eric and his Mom's family.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Just a few autumnal gems...

...compliments of the Lazy Blogger.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween night brought us a beautiful sunset fit for a lovely evening of soliciting free stuff from strangers. We joined some friends at their house in the burbs, had a spooky dinner and set off for tricks and treats!
Can you dig it?


They got the hang of it pretty quick.

Our crowd broke up pretty quickly. There were about 15 kids and their parent's in our group, so going all together was a bit ridiculous. Ironically, the racecar group was the slowest. I love how they're all doing their own thing in this shot.


Turtle crossing.



Nice trick.


A grand time was had by all.

Next year - smaller costume.
