Cousin Love

It's consignment season in Charlotte, which means one thing...a trip to Charlotte is in order for three of my sisters!  Each Fall and Spring, Denise and Dolly come to shop for their kids at the sale and Auntie Dawnie comes along to be our nanny....and shop at local stores:)  It also means that whatever cousins are not in school will be able to come visit.  It gets extremely chaotic and noisy at times, but we reminded ourselves several times during the visit that we will look back on these days of chaos with cousins and laugh...



Michael and RoyBoy watching Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.  Michael came with me to pick Roy Austin up from preschool and their faces were precious when they saw each other.  We passed the Woody costume down to Michael this weekend and he wore it proudly.

There is always a trip to SouthPark Mall when my sisters come. Here is Jane and RoyBoy walking hand in hand...

I overheard their conversation and it was adorable.  RoyBoy said,  "So.....pretty soon Santa will be here."  Jane replied, "You all know so much about this place."

Three skeletons.


Jane and Caroline.

We've also made a little tradition of visiting a yummy waffle/coffee shop nearby--Cast Iron Waffles.  Charlotte and Eleanore ate theirs together.

Spiderman (Michael), Jane and Caroline ate theirs at the counter.  
As always, it was a fun time of laughing, eating and getting good deals for our children!  Thanks for coming, girls!

Loved reading this post and am sad I didn't take any pictures this weekend. I love the cousin pictures and you're right, one day they will all be in school and we will miss these crazy days! We always have so much fun visiting and you're the best host ever. I can still taste those pecan bars and pb cups! Love you
