welcome fall………..maybe……..
September 21, 2007
the beginning of the week brought rain and clouds.
i wasn’t sure how i felt about it. i am ALWAYS excited for fall to come, but this year i had a little bit of anxiety about the coming season. maybe it was just the thought of being stuck in the house with two “lil’ monsters” (i mean that with love) for months while the rain pours outside our windows. well, much to my excitement, the rain ended after a couple of days, and we have been left with amazing clear blue skies, and cold, crisp mornings and evenings. i have a renewed excitement for the next few months. and all that fall entails…..
tamar gave me the idea to write 10 things that i’m excited about for fall…….
so here goes:
1. sweaters and boots. this is my favorite season for clothes! i’m not a fan of summer fashions…..i don’t even own a pair of shorts!!!!!
2. rosy cheeks. i love to bundle up the boys and go for morning walks, their little cheekers just look that much sweeter all flushed!
3. pumpkin. pumpkin everything. burgerville’s pumpkin shakes. starbucks pumpkin spice lattes. pumpkin candles. pumpkin decorations. pumpkin bread, and cookies, and pie, and muffins, and………….
4. thanksgiving. we get to go to cali this year. i just love the family time that the holidays bring.
5. getting out all the blankets that have been put away for the winter. i love snuggling on the couch, with a book, under a warm blanket!!!
6. leaves. i love when the leaves fall off the tree in the frontyard. it makes for great pictures, and hours of fun for the boys. our whole neighborhood becomes a “fall” wonderland. i love the colors.
7. hats. i love getting out all the hats and gloves, and scarves. i’m not much of an “accesorizer” the rest of the year, but i love that it’s necessary in the chilly weather!
plus, my boys look so cute in hats!
8. birthdays. starting next week (heather!!) we have a birthday almost every other week, until christmas!! i love to celebrate!
9. starting the process of making halloween costumes!
10. pumpkin……..
why don’t all of you join in and make a list of your own!!!
Tamar Schrater: I am loving this weather, too! Sunshine, but crisp air...doesn't get any better! I love your list. It actually makes me want to come over to your house, because there's something about your house in the fall and winter that is so comforting...Hey, we might be going to Cali for Thanksgiving, too!
Amy: I am in love with those boots!!
Mary: I love your pictures! Those boots are just the best! Do you ever post photography tips?
