It's Fall, Ya'll

It has cooled off in a major way here this week, and I have been ecstatic! Bring on the pumpkins, ghosts, and comfort foods (not that I need any more comfort)! Granted, it still gets in the low 80s in the afternoon, but that is okay--it's not 105. It's wonderful actually. I made taco soup on the first cool day. I love everything about fall because it's the beginning of the long road to Christmas. I was thinking this week about how thankful I am that I get to stay home with my children. Sometimes I vaguely entertain the thought of going to work (not REALLY, but just thinking), and I just can't imagine it. I love my kids and am so thankful that I get to be with them all the time. It's the greatest, most challenging but the most rewarding job that there is. I'd hate to think I couldn't be there to see all of the firsts. Anyway, do you know what else fall brings?

Pumpkin spice frappucinos from starbucks! Woot! I think I've said before that I love any and all things pumpkin: candles (just bought one today), drinks, cookies (had one of those the other night--thank you, great american cookie company). I even saw pumpkin spice waffles, but I refrained. Even though I don't indulge in my love of pumpkin spice frapps regularly (sorry, $4.35 for a drink is retarded), it's a nice treat on occasion.
Love this boy. I got a rare pic before he smashed his head into mine because he loves to see himself come in and out of the camera screen on the iphone. Btw, if you have an iphone, the Where's Waldo app will rock your world. Okay, maybe not, but it does take you right back to circa 1992 when Where's Waldo books were awesome. It's so fun!
A lot of this going on, too. If you see how he plays, you'd know this was vital.
And a little bit of this: ANOTHER ringworm. Sage had one of these beside her mouth back in the summer. Why she keeps getting them, I don't know, but at least we know what it is and still have the cream for it. PS: it's not a real worm, in case you didn't know.
Isn't she pretty? Every Friday is school spirit day during football season, and I just ordered a few new shirts for this year. I think she looks adorable.
