Phew! Where did Saturday go? Michael left for Blackburg to see the Hokies play at 8 am yesterday and Camille, Clyde and I hopped in the car shortly after and dined on donut at Martins, then headed to
Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville. I thought a few times..."am I completely crazy to take a 2 and 4 year old on a road trip to an apple orchard by myself?". I guess not because it went really well. We had a lot of fun with C & C being very well behaved. We went on a hayride, picked a bunch of pink lady apples and ate apple donuts (yes...our 2nd donuts of the day...no judging).
We made it home in time for Clyde to get a quick nap, then we were off to my nephew, Winters, 3rd Birthday. More sugar was in store with cupcakes and a pinata!

Yum! More sugar! |
And now to the pinata that would not break!

Here it is...cute firetruck pinata! |

Clyde gets in on the action. |

Now after every other child swings at it 2 or 3 times, Kate tries to break it open. |
|
No luck. Now tries Ross! |
|
Finally...it starting to break and we pulled it open and candy fell! Yes...more sugar. |
Today, we have trick or treating at my grandmother's retirement community. Maybe, I should re-name this post, Sugar Weekend! And I am taking a
barre fitness class. This my 3rd one and I am really enjoying it.
