I'm in the mood for fall








Last Friday we had our first official "nip" in the air. My boys were outside before school and I heard Parker say, "Jace, don't you wish we had jackets so we didn't feel so freezing?" The high was almost 80 that day and the low was not lower than 65.

On Saturday though, it was officially chilly (high of 76, windy, a little cloudy--we are such wimps now). But, it got us excited for fall and cooler temperatures. We headed to a fun dairy farm close by played kids games, did crafts, took a hay ride and ate ice cream. We took a little bike in the late afternoon and we all had on pants and sweatshirts. That night we decorated our funny pumpkins, put a few spiderwebs up on our house and sipped hot chocolate with TONS of marshmellows. It was one of those Saturdays that was "practically perfect in every way."

Those are the cutest pumpkins! I need to go find those- I love them.
And we left town for a bit and I think I missed this cool weather- you are talking about- haha.
No I am excited for it to be cooling down a bit too- even more would be nice.
