I've always loved the fall, and everything that the change in season brings. With the gradual change in weather comes the switch from flops to slippers, layers, fleece, blankets, hot coffee and then of course, who doesn't love all the beautiful foliage. Add to that, the season brings so many fun activities for the family. I so happy that we've had a full calendar, and we've squeezed in everything I'd hoped, thus far :) With a young family, and two working parents, it can be tough to juggle fun with chores on weekends. I feel like we're always trying to cram in all of our errands or housework, plus do fun stuff with the kids. Especially, now that they're at a good age for being active, and needing the stimulation. So, we've been keeping busy and having tons of fun with the kids.
Brian had Columbus Day off, and I had the chance to take the day off (which rarely happens with my limited vacation time). So in the mix of all the fun fall activities, we had a great long weekend and spent the day off together with a fun trip to the aquarium. I wanted to do something fun with the kids that we don't do often, and I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. I hadn't been in years, and it was a real treat. In the last few weekends, we went pumpkin picking, explored the Nature Center at their Fall Fair, and most recently took a trip to Sesame Place with friends.
Next up is Halloween and Miss Madelyn's 4th Birthday! (Ahh.) The girls are totally into Halloween. It has always been my least favorite holiday but I'm happy their excitement has me looking forward to it too! Keeping with the fantasy/princess theme, Madelyn is Ariel, and Anna is very appropriately dressing as a monkey. We may even try to squeeze in some family photos this weekend, but I don't want to press my luck. Lots going on, lots to smile about. Hope you have a great weekend!!
