Runaway Bride: The Sequel

 

I dusted off the old Runaway Bride costume for the Monster Dash at Cameron Village on Sunday. (This year I threw the bouquet to my little girls and didn't run the entire 5K with it!).

I love this race because it has all kinds of great family events and it takes place at one of my favorite shopping destinations in the world!

Even more than that, Joe brings all available kidlets and they see two things in action. 1) I am not just "Queen of the Laundry" as they like to joke. And 2) There is a lot to be said for trying your best and being a good sport. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't. This year I did place again and take home some gift cards. But the results show there were plenty of old girls right there at the tip of my veil...

Pumpkin in the Patch!

 

Gabriella's class took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Friday. This is my third year in a row visiting this particular patch. Even better than that, this is the third year in a row my Kindergartener on this field trip has worn the Lilly Pumpkin ensemble. It doesn't seem quite so extravagant anymore!

Beautiful, warm weather and a great break from the moving madness!

More blue.....

 

This time it's not Carolina blue -- it's blue ribbon blue -- from the North Carolina State Fair!

I was tickled when we arrived today to find two of my stamping creations had been awarded prizes. I'm glad this was the year I finally stopped thinkling about entering, and actually did it!

True Blue!

 

It was big fun at the UNC vs. Georgia Southern Football Game. I always love being in Chapel Hill and I am all about brainwashing my little "Tar Heels in Training".
