Hello Fall

Shorter days, brisk cool air and a frantic search for long pants, the season is changing. From dirt covered bare feet to snuggly slippers, iced coffee to steaming apple cider and a thin sheet to thick comforter. This weekend we said hello to the fall weather and were thankful.





































We lounged on the couch watching tractors working on YouTube taking turns holding the laptop. Took an unpleasant car ride the Baraboo to meet sweet triplet boys who are identical yet unique in their own way. Spent way to many hours listening to my frustrated yet determined husband try and transform from computer programmer to toilet plumber fixing our stubborn porcelain throne. Just some ordinary happenings around our humble abode.




















Sunday arrived with sunny skies and excited boys. The Rock River Thresheree was our destination and expectations ran high. As we pulled up jaws dropped, the road and surrounding fields were lined with cars, tractor shuttles zipping by and mud as far as the eye could see. I am not a huge outdoors lover, don't get giddy from tractors and am not attracted to mud puddles but because my boys (husband included) were smiling ear to ear I loved it. With each turn and sight of something even cooler I couldn't help but think of all the families who should have come because they too would have loved it.

The weekend ended with a birthday party right during nap time, daddy deciding that if anyone plans one during that time again we will not be in attendance and dinner with our favorite Uncle Andy and Auntie Jenna. Hello Fall... we are excited for all you have in store.

The New Summer

A brisk breeze, warm apple cider, colorful leaves crunching underfoot, that is what I am dreaming about tonight. I used make summer fun lists, get all excited for the warmth and long for days at the beach but not anymore. Fall is where it's at, I've declared fall to be the new summer in this household. As most people pack their summer full of events and activites having every second accounted for that is how my fall will be this year. I want to enjoy every minute making the season last as long as possible.
























Some of the things I'm dreaming about...

~Visits to Lapacek's Orchard where we run through the trees, devour cider donuts and feed the goats
~Hikes at Devil's Lake and Parfrey's Glen
~Football Parties where the guys yell at the tv while girls chat
~Drinking apple cider and making apple crisp
~Trienen Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

























~A fall trip to the zoo
~Resuming monthly game night
~Celebrating my boys' birthdays
~New fall tv shows

Just a few to get the fall fun list started. What things are you looking forward to this fall?
