Hello there, Fall.

It's the first day of Fall.

I'm not sad about summer being over anymore.

The school year is in full swing and it just feels like Fall. 

Right now I am sitting on my couch sipping coffee and looking out my front window,

leaves are literally falling from the trees right this minute and it is a sunny, cool 61* outside.

Perfect.

Yep, Fall is here.

{Some favorite pictures from last Fall...}

Today Miss Charlotte and I have decided that we have to do something fun to celebrate
 the first day of Fall. Maybe take a little walk through our favorite old cemetery...or go buy just
 a couple of pumpkins for the front porch until we make our trip to the
 Pumpkin Patch....or  make caramel apples...or eat candy corn.
We will figure something out, don't worry. 

We are looking so very forward to a relaxing weekend with absolutely NO PLANS.

Can I get an amen?

I am on day four of my antibiotic and feeling so much better, the cough medicine with 

codeine is helping a lot, too. And after nearly three weeks of this I am so thankful for that.

Right now there is a Bunny Square Dance going on around here, check it out...

Don't you love it?

My girl plays with these bunnies like nothing I have ever seen. 

And it makes me so happy.

You guys, I about died when I came across this post about this fabulous, unbelievable 

give-away for a weekend at Na-Da Farm.

This is in Illinois. MY State, just a few hours away.

I could actually do this.

It is a weekend of creating and learning and growing....art classes, 

shopping, relaxing....all in a beautiful spot.

An all-inclusive weekend for two. Sigh.

I am fantasizing about being there, what a cool experience it would be.

I have never done anything like this....and I have never gone anywhere
and hung out with a group of complete strangers.

And you know what else?

I was telling Eric about it and I realized that I have not had a weekend away

 since Wyatt was not quite two years old and I was pregnant with Charlotte, I think. 

Could that really be? Of course I have had nights at home when the kids stay with their 

grandma & grandpa but I have not had a full weekend away...

Wyatt is almost seven, Charlotte is almost five.

That's really sad.
Oh, and this would be so.much.fun. Read more about it here.

(And keep your fingers crossed for me).

Does anyone else like The Courtyard Hounds?

I can't get enough of this song. Love, love, love it. 

It's on repeat right now.

Happy first day of Fall, y'all.
