It's that time of the year again! FALL! My favorite season! I love the leaves changing, the cooler days, crisp nights, smells of campfires, apples, and harvest! Last week, I got to take a drive way out into the middle of nowhere and enjoy the beginning of fall in Indiana, (which also included a 2 year old screaming for part of the trip, but I digress). The scenery was beautiful, lots of woods with varying amounts of color change on the trees and fields of corn turning to a rustling brown. Tomorrow is Kenzie's first field trip of preschool. We get to go to the pumpkin patch! She is very excited, and so is Lillia (who also gets to come along!) Wish me luck, I'm taking all three kids. Am I slightly crazy?
Anyway, this week is going to be super busy, lots of places to go, things to do, and people to see. And actually, this is just a busy busy month!! The one thing I'm looking forward to the most is the fact that Doug's football season will be over! Only 3 more weeks! Finally - especially after a very long week last week, where he had 5 games in 6 days. The kids and I missed him very much!
Well, I just pulled 7 quarts of spaghetti sauce out of the canner, and I have 3 totes of clothes sitting in the living room that need to be priced for the garage sale this weekend. (This is just a start of the garage sale stuff, there are at least 8 or 9 more totes upstairs that need to be gone thru and priced.) It has been slightly sad and bittersweet sorting the girls' clothes and significantly downsizing the amount that I'm keeping. Even little Elijah has a tote of clothes that don't fit him anymore!
Here's another reminder that kids don't stay little long - my little Kenzie is tying her shoes by herself and is riding her bike without training wheels! And the sad part is, she didn't even really need anyone to teach her how to ride without training wheels - she just basically started riding! (Tear..., sigh...)
