'Tis the season...

...for coughs and stuffy noses and kids passing bugs back and forth between siblings and friends (and grown-ups, too!). 

...for 10 catalogs in the mail per day!!  Just the thing to encourage materialism in every single member of your household!  They are pretty fun to look at though, I must admit...

...for Christmas decor in every store.  I walked into the mall with my eldest son the other day, and he quipped, 'Hey mom, Merry Christmas!'  Pretty funny for a little dude whose jokes are usually ter.ri.ble. 

...to really enjoy wearing sweaters.  It's a lovely day when it's sunny but cool, and all you need is one extra layer to keep the chill out. 

...to take a nice vacation.  Well, maybe not exactly, but we're doing it anyway!!  My brother and his wife are moving overseas soon (sniff, sniff), so we're making a family voyage to Tennessee to spend some extra time with my siblings and parents. 

...for pumpkins, and lots of them.  I LOVE pumpkins, don't know why.  They make me happy with their funny shapes and cheerful color!!  We tried our hand at a pumpkin patch this summer, but our yield was limited (ie. one small pumpkin).  No matter!!  We made our annual trip to my favorite pumpkin patch and came home with more orange than we really needed.  Then the farmers who live behind us donated a few more!!  i am in gourd heaven. 

...for bedtime.  Daddy's working nights, but I'm sure my kids will be perfectly cooperative about going to sleep...  as usual...   haha. 

Happy Fall!
