Lasagna Night

Around our house dinner can be a rather stressful time. Tessa and I are usually both tired and hungry, Daddy has had a long day at work and Anabelle would swear she's starving - if only she could talk. So when tonight's dinner actually turned out to be fun, I pulled out the camera.

Frozen lasagna was on the menu tonight and, let's face it, Momma's much more easy going when dinner preparations consist of opening a box and turning on the oven. As you can tell, Tessa LOVED the lasagna. She had three helpings and then a brownie for dessert! Yes, I made her take her dress off first so I could enjoy my own meal without worrying the red sauce might stain her clothes. As it was, we headed straight to the bath after our meal, for obvious reasons.

North Carolina Apple Festival


It's Apple Festival time again! We took Tessa up to Sky Top orchard for a day of apple-picking fun. The child loves, loves, loves apples. It's hard to think that when we were here last year she wasn't even walking yet. I remember propping her up by this sign. Look how much she has grown!!!
We had such fun walking through the orchard watching Tessa pick and eat the apples.
Of course I couldn't resist a photo-op in the apple basket. What a doll!!!
She toppled over right after taking this picture, that whole hill thing makes for an unbalanced basket. No harm done, we went right back to apple picking.
After all that running around we took a break for a picnic lunch. It was nice and cool in the shade. Then it was off to the playground for more fun.
Time to pay for our apples and head home. We'll see you next year!
