My Favorite Season

Fall is coming!  Hands down my favorite season.  My B-day, Cider, donuts, cool weather, chili, football, pumpkins, Apple Cheesecake, Halloween costumes, I could go on and on.  And a baby for us - yay!  I am excited be in the baby cave in Fall.  I am already thinking about costumes for the little nuggets. Brady wants to be a wrestler and he's thinking a costume with built-in muscles.  I am hoping for Hulk but he's probably thinking something not cute whatsoever like Kane or the Undertaker.  I recommend that moms (while you can) pick their costumes get cute, furry ones and take lots of pictures.  Because before long they will want to be green army men or something else heinous.  Pierce was an owl last year and apparently didn't appreciate being dressed up as an owl. I think I got 2 or 3 pics before he started crying. 

This year I am thinking monster. 

 

I would love to say that $50 is my limit when purchasing Halloween costumes.  But I had to break that rule last year when Brady wanted a Jake the Pirates costume and it was sold out everywhere! Backordered till Nov. 8th - Now what's the point of that!   I was scrambling to say the least.  I ended up finding it on Amazon (I love Amazon to pieces and their 2 day shipping) for way too much money.  And then when you add the sword that he HAD TO HAVE, I spent well over $75.  So this year I am buying early and hoping to adhere to the $50 limit.

 

I know it's only August But... we may have had cider and donuts for breakfast this morning.  We let Dad sleep in on the weekends till 8:30 or 9.  I know, I am the best wife in the world.  Me and the boys got up at 7am and after watching Sesame Street we headed out.  The cider Mill is only about 8 minutes away from our house.  Not only is the cider delicious but their donuts are amazing.  Steve has a little addiction to caramel and so do I and they have caramel donuts.  The sprinkle donuts are my favorite.  And I forgot to mention the cider slushies, OMG so good. 

 

I will not be 'Fall Ready' until I stop at Yankee Candle and get some Fall scents and Bath & Body Works for some pumpkin soap but I'm getting there!  And hopefully those nice folks at Oreo will make candy corn Oreo's again.  I will share our favorite Beer Chili recipe and Apple Cheesecake recipes soon.  I figure I should wait until at least September 1st.
