9/4/2017 1 Comment Accepting AutumnI'm struggling to let go of summer, of the days with nothing to do, the days with too much to do, and just the days full of possibilities. It's never long enough, and this year it seems a bit more poignantly concluded with both kids off to school. This was their last summer to be 6&4 or 5&3 or 4&2, and somehow next summer as 7&5 already seems different. To alter my thinking, I've decided to accept and embrace autumn and all it entails by creating our fall bucket list together. They are already excited to fill their jar with kindness to get to have these adventures! Go to the fair (and eat something ridiculous) Make Baked Potato Soup Make Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies Make Lentil Chili and Cinnamon Rolls Have an Apple Cider (+Fireball for mama and daddy) picnic Have a costume photo shoot when the leaves turn Jump in the leaves at Get's Go to a football game Go to a volleyball game Pick the last of the garden goodies Have a bonfire and roast marshmallows Make cars from boxes and have a drive-in movie Watch Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone Make popcorn balls Take Great Grandpa's boat out fishing Go to a pumpkin patch Carve pumpkins at Cissy's Start the fire at home on a rainy day, snuggle, and read together Make stew and cornbread Go Trick or Treating at Great Grandma and Grandpa's Go to the lake and take a RZR ride Go with Grandpa to take the boat out for the winter. Go fishing with Papa and stay in the "living van"
Try to enjoy each moment as it comes before it goes No doubt there will be this and more, but now we're all excited for the next season.
