It is finally feeling like Fall around here. I am so thankful for the cooler temps. We all enjoy being outside so much more this time of year. I love to stand and drink my coffee on the patio in the cool mornings. I love how the day starts out cold, but ends up warm in the afternoons. And, of course, I have already stocked up on canned pumpkin and have started making pumpkin bread. As much as I love Middle Tennesse, it was way too hot this summer. But, somehow, these glorious Fall days are making up for it.
We have been busy! Some of our recent highlights:
Ryan's precious class at school took a trip to a local pumpkin farm. It was the perfect day and we all had so much fun.
We went to Springfield for a family gathering and to celebrate my great-aunts 90th birthday. We got to see all our extended family and fun cousins!
This past Friday night Will's cub scout den went to our local high school football game. The boys had a blast! You would've thought we went to the Superbowl. Nothing like high school football games to make it feel like Fall!
I am still on our Women's Ministry Committee at church this year. Thursday night we hosted a class entitled "Food Frugality." It was a 2 hour session that one of our members worked very hard to prepare for us. She is a caterer and also a registered dietician. It was a very imformative class about how to cut your grocery bill, while not sacrificing quality.
We hosted our church Life Group at our house Sunday night. It got a little chilly, but we had the fire pit going and the kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows. My boys stayed outside on Sunday from the time we got home from church until about 7:45 that night. They didn't complain once, they didn't ask to come inside, they even ate out on the patio! Amazing! Yet, another reason to love Fall!
This week in Ryan's class is the letter "G" week. I went yesterday to work in his class and take "G" treats. They are the sweetest bunch of kids. 9 boys and 3 girls! I took Goldfish and Grape Gatorade for their snack. Get it? "G" snacks? Such a cute idea. The kids get so excited to know what the letter treats will be each week.
(Somehow all my pictures just have Ryan in them. I didn't mean to leave out Will!!)

I too am loving the cooler temps! I am normally a summer girl but love getting to decorate for fall. Madison's class will be going to the Pumpkin Patch after fall break and I can't wait...my porch needs some pumpkins! You do sound busy...seems like everyone is busy right now.
I totally got the G snacks...and how convenient that your names starts with G, too! Did you bring that up? :)
Cindy, of course I did!!
