We Heart Fall!!!!

Hooray!!! Autumn is finally here!!! Aren't you so glad God decide to make the Earth spin and rotate and all that jazz so we can have season changes? I have always preferred fall over the other seasons (Spring is my second favorite). Cooler evenings, crisp breezes, blazing red and orange trees glowing in the morning sun, football, apple pie, pumpkins, hay rides, wonderful spicy smells, the sound of leaves dancing and whirling in the wind or crunching under my feet . . . just a few of my favorite things (feel free to go back and sing them like Julie Andrews). We celebrated first day of Fall with our annual Fall-a-palooza yesterday (in lieu of our traditional school day). While we did keep up with our history and math, the rest of the day was "all things Fall," which included crafts, poetry, baking and decorating Fall cookies; and, of course . . . pumpkin shaped sandwiches!


Happy Fall Ya'll!

I know we aren't supposed to be envious but I envy you. At least you live somewhere that the seasons change and it's noticeable.

Thanks for the fall cookies. The Childers clan devoured them speedily and gratefully!

I too share your love for fall. One of my favorite fall activities is trying to catch leaves as they are falling off the tree. I might have to steal your fall-a-palooza idea.

Please add the Scott family to the extra cookie/cake/yummy baked goods list whenever we finally get to Wilson! They look "fall-some!" (You know, like...awesome, but fall...) ;-)
