Oh, Indian Summer.
Can you stay forever...please?
This is where I had my coffee this morning, on the front porch.
Our street is covered with leaves and every time you look out a window,
it looks as if it is snowing leaves.
And I just keep saying in my head; slow down.
I want this season to last a bit longer, I am not ready for the trees to be empty of their leaves just yet.
Slow down.

Yesterday we tried catching leaves in the kid's butterfly nets...and we did, it worked.
It was kind of hard though.

Charlotte loves finding the prettiest ones and wants to save them all.
We have some in a big, heavy book right now being pressed.
Then we are going to try to thread them into a little garland and hang them across the fireplace.

Everything is yellow and orange and brown.
The light is beyond beautiful.
I think that this just has to be one of the prettiest Fall's we have had for quite a while.
I hope they never stop picking me flowers (or weeds).
They better not.
This mama never gets tired of flowers--or weeds.
Last night was Eric's late night home so before it got too dark the three of us played frisbee out
front then after it was dark the kids got on their pajamas and we read books out on the
front porch under a blanket. Wyatt is reading to us now...some days I feel like I need to savor
all of these little moments with the kids before they change....grow up on me....
and get too old for books on the porch under blankets.
Tomorrow my baby turns five.
FIVE.
I have had to deal with Birthdays #7 and #5 all within ten days of each other, they
both feel like big Birthdays to me....sigh.
We will be celebrating with a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and lunch at Panera with my sister.
Nope, no McDonald's for my girl, just a cinnamon crunch bagel with toasted hazelnut
cream cheese for her Birthday lunch. Too funny.
Have a great day, or evening...
or whatever time it is where you are right now.
Tonight is dinner after the kids go to bed and Survivor date night for us.
Yep, date night right here in the living room...gotta take what ya can get.
sometimes living room date nights are the very best! Love your fall, it hasn't really started here yet this year... very, very strange, I just hope we don't transition directly to snow!
