{An Autumn List}

Since we are officially into October now...

Welcome Autumn.

So happy you are here.

We celebrated the first day of Autumn with a special family dinner.

 I made dinner and the kids helped set the table and made

 a special centerpiece of acorns and buckeyes.
We lit candles and all used real wine glasses. We are brave.

I absolutely love Autumn, I really do. But sadly, it is just way too short. 

It feels like no sooner does Autumn start than it is over and Winter is showing her face already.
And I am usually not near ready to see her face.

This season goes quick so we have to savor it and squeeze in as much as possible.
So I made a list.
Of things we hope to do, make and see this Fall.
And it's a lovely little list.

 My Autumn List:

Visit the Pumpkin Patch

Buy mums for the front porch

Buy myself a new pumpkin candle

Make a pumpkin pie

Go on as many afternoon walks with Charlotte as possible

Collect buckeyes
Have friends over for fondue

Make pumpkin bars

Buy a new scarf

Make a new wreath for the front door

Make (and drink) mulled cider
Celebrate both of my kids' Birthdays

Eat apple pie

Carve pumpkins

Go to Boo at The Zoo
One more trip to the Apple Orchard

Eat a double-dipped caramel apple with nuts

Watch You've Got Mail (the perfect Fall movie) at least once

Decorate for Halloween

Attempt to make vegetable pot pies

Go to a football game

Try this drink at Starbucks

So, there's my list.

I just love all the changes a new Season brings... in my old age I have decided it is
 best to embrace these changes since there is no beating them.
And yes,  I do realize that a month from now I will be whining for 
daydreaming of Summer. But for now,  I am so ready for Fall.
Bring it on.

Do you have a list? 

What's on yours?
