Welcome Fall!

The end of summer is always bitter sweet.  Our summers are so short here, that we really try to relish every moment.

Summer time brings the beach and picnics, farmers markets and fresh berries, trips to the bark and swimming.  

Summer are days are long and lazy and we take the time to enjoy them as much as we can.  I know I enjoy these short months to the fullest with my kids, but before we know it, they are over.

So while we love summer, and will miss the warm lazy days, Fall brings a new pool of fun and things to look forward to.

Fall brings the changing colours on the trees, the brisk cooler air, earlier nights and dark mornings.  Fall walks in the leaves, apple picking, and visits to the pumpkin patch.

One of my favourite things is being able to wear my favorite jeans and boots, big sweaters and warm mitts. 

Fall brings us Thanksgiving, which brings us Pumpkin Pie!  The kids get to trick or treat for Halloween, by far the least of my favorite parts (see my Halloween post of 2012!)

And as we enjoy all the things that fall brings us, the best part of all is that we are that much closer to Christmas!  (hate me now people, but you all know you love it!)
