We have tried, in the midst of crazy-busy life, to enjoy the fall this year. Last year, it seemed we missed quite a bit of it while we were in the midst of, ya know, having a newborn, not getting any sleep, and trying to figure out how to get pajamas on a wiggly infant or give him baths without drowning him.
Now that we have the pajamas and the baths well in hand (most evenings), we've done quite a few more fall-ish activities this year, and it has been so fun! (Especially since it gives us some precious time with Daddy in the midst of his intense work/school schedule) In addition to apple-picking, we had a campfire one evening with some dear friends. (Though I know of some moms who have gone camping with a child in diapers, I am just not that brave, so we just stuck with an evening around the campfire and then came home to our comfy beds :) It was chilly enough to make you want to drink hot cider and be close to the fire, but not so cold as to preclude Little Man's involvement...
Doesn't he look just thrilled to be there? And isn't that hat the cutest thing you've ever seen? Got it at a yard sale for like 50 cents! In that second picture, it kinda looks like horns, but it doesn't look like that in real life ... but I digress...
We've taken lots of walks around our neighborhood and at area parks, just soaking up the colors of the fall leaves and those blue eyes ... uh, i mean blue skies :)
I love Fall, but it seems the most fleeting of the seasons ... the leaves fall so soon after they've changed color, and before you know it, the days have turned dreary, snowy, and really cold! (It snowed on Halloween here ... yahoo). A lesson in seizing the day, I suppose. Hope you enjoyed your fall!
