FALL

I'm avoiding a few tasks that I desperately need to get done today. I started this entry weeks ago & didn't get it finished. Here goes!

I LOVE Fall! Here is what I love about Fall...

  • School starts. No more hearing my kids fighting in the middle of the day.
  • UNI football! I love the Homecoming parade. I love tailgating. I love the Panthers.
  • Flag football. I enjoy watching my little guy play the game.
  • Soccer. I don't love soccer, but my kids do...I'm learning!
  • Halloween. I can't wait to see my kids run from house to house getting candy. I love watching them count & divide their candy after they trick or treat! I love seeing the kids stalk Scott while he carves the pumpkin.
  • The pumpkin patch. I can't wait to see my kid's eyes when we go to the pumpkin patch & pick out our pumpkins.
  • The marathon. Scott runs the QC Marathon every fall. We love to cheer him on.
  • Hartman Reserve. This year Allie's class will go to Hartman to hike & make apple cider.
  • Jackets. I love wearing a fleece jacket because there is a chill in the air.
  • Thanksgiving. Our quiet day at home. Sometimes it is just us & sometimes we have a few guests. Getting out our Christmas stuff has become our tradition. We love it.
  • Day after Thanksgiving shopping. Yes, online shopping at 5:00 and then heading to Davenport to bargain shop with Kim & Mandy is so much fun!
  • Leaves. I love the smell of burning leaves, I don't get to experience that with the burning bans though :(
  • Crisp nights & needing a fleece blanket to sit outside.
  • Chili. We make chili on cool Sunday afternoons & then watch Sunday Night Football on TV.
  • I love fall colors. The oranges, yellows & reds are so fun.
  • The leaves changing colors. Who doesn't love watching this take place?
