Fall is Here

October 17, 2012


It’s been unseasonably cold around here; but we aren’t complaining. Gage is especially excited to see what colors each new morning brings. We’ve stored all our summer clothes; and I finally convinced Husby to wake our hibernating furnace. Oh and lots of cozy comfort food has snuck it’s way onto the dinner table, too!

Here’s a few other things we’ve got on our fall bucket list before the eggnog and twinkly lights come and deck our halls!

Halloween Parties
Painting pumpkins
An evening of Smores & Stories
Autumn leaves luncheon
Homemade sugared donuts & cider
Obviously more pumpkin pancakes
Playing in leaves (daily)
Corn mazes

What’s on your list? Any fun family traditions you do each year? I’m ALL ears!

    You can’t post pictures of food without sharing the recipe! It’s just not fair. I am salivating over here! πŸ˜‰

    We invited our little friends over for a pizza + popcorn movie night in early November. Fun for the kids to snuggle on the couch with their besties.

    I love this time of year too. It is the best. I feel lucky to live in the east where the colors are so insane. We like to go the farm markets and eat their homemade apple fritters. Lots of hot cocoa and apple cider too.

    you had to be there

      Never had an apple fritter. Sounds like something Husby would inhale… a donut dude, for sure. Fritters? Donuts? are they similar? Teach me the ways. haha!

    we went apple picking for the first time, and stayed in a mountain cabin with fires and smokes nightly, that will def be our yearly tradition. I was too scared of the corn mazes I know I would never find my way out πŸ™‚ adorable pictures!!!

  • Venessa P October 17, 2012 at 10:19 pm

    You put raisins and nuts in your cinnamon rolls, too?!? I thought my mom was the only one who did that. I personally HATED that, but I’m sure I’m the only one. πŸ˜‰
    You’re a cute young momma….hold tight to the bitty ones while you can. Soon they grow into huge-consuming-entire-packages-of-crackers-and-a-gallon-of-milk-teenagers that are taller than you.
    But that’s when the fun REALLY begins! (Trust me!)

    Speaking of Halloween parties – would love to see a post from you about ideas for couples Halloween costumes. I’m in need of some inspiration and you’re so creative!

    • missy October 24, 2012 at 2:39 am

      We’re doing Ken & Barbie for one party… Some other ideas: Native Americans (I wanted to dress boho, husby didn’t), sick and tired (one looks sick, the other tired), piΓ±ata and a kid with a bat (one couple did this and it has hilarious), obviously food pairings is always fun. Let me know what you decide on.

      I saw the funniest outfit on pinterest. A man dressed up in a business suit holding a ginormous check and a woman in a robe and rollers. (Publisher’s Clearing House)
