I wasn't really ready for fall to come yet - summer seemed even shorter than usual. I'm settling into it though and trying to enjoy it. I do like this time of getting into routines and starting up new activities. Caden starts preschool today. I think he'll really enjoy that. We'll be registering him for skating lessons tonight. It's nice to have things going on, to some degree. At the same time - I don't want to overdo it. I was realizing that in a couple more years, I will likely have about 16 years of running kids to activities. So - no rush!!
The kids look cute in their sweats and warmer clothes. Went through everything last week and put away summer stuff, got rid of pants and shirts that had grown too small over the past couple of months. Pulled out the bigger stuff (Because of some of you wonderful people out there, I get to shop at home. We have been given so much - I can't say enough how much we appreciate it!) and found that we have boots that fit, lots of shoes to fit everyone, fall jackets and winter jackets for everyone. We are in pretty good shape without even having to shop.
I figured out halloween costumes for the kids last night. We have enough that fit, just here in our dressup box (thanks to you that passed those down as well!). I won't always be able to get away with dressing them up the way I want but for now - it'll be what we have.
I also dug out my old fall decorations. Can't put a whole lot out because of the kids still wanting to play with everything but I like to do a few things.
Another silver lining for the weather changing and the time of year - The kids slept until 7:35 this morning. That is pretty unheard of these days. The darker mornings will benefit us that way I expect.
I'm also really excited to make soup. I love soup on a cool day. If you have any great recipes for cozy fall soups - let me know!
