The sidewalk sale was disappointing really, so we ventured on to the neighboring town's Fall Festival. We had so much fun! I bought lots of fun things, (including some delicious smelling tarts for my tart burner, some cute jewelry, and an adoreable "home is where mom is" artsy-looking wall plaque), and we ate lots of good food. One of the booths was selling 'honey lemonade', and it was soooo good. The muffin went nuts for it! We wandered around all afternoon, and then had coffee and desert at another cute coffee shop. The coffee came in these tiny little French presses, which very much added to the atmosphere... I felt like I should have been sporting spectacles and a beret, toting around a copy of some classic novel.
After finishing up, we gathered all our purchases and headed back to the crib. Mom hung out with the muffin while I got his bath things ready and then she got on the road. Of course, the bebe' was an absolute nightmare to put to sleep. He was overtired, and still rearin' to go at the same time, so he fought sleep like a little prince fighting a dragon. His eyelids would just begin to droop and he would start shaking his little head and rubbing his face. He finally gave in. (Isn't it amazing how an hour doesn't sound like very long, but when you've got a fussy baby on your hands, it feels like the whole night?)
Today we've just been hanging out. Oddly enough, when I put the little one down for his morning nap, I got the urge to clean! I put one of my new cranberry tarts in the burner, pulled my hair back, and gave the whole house a once-over. Let's just say, it was a bit embarrassing to see how bad that needed to be done. But, I felt very accomplished when I finished! :)
