i have an INSANE love for the Fall!!!
I have always found Fall and Winter to be very romantic!
Here are some reason why I can't wait for one of my favorite Seasons to begin.
Autumn:
~ The Farmers Market is full of pumpkins and so many different kinds of squash
~ The many different soups you can make! Chowders, chili's, Stew, Purees.
~ Colors abound in the fall! The reds, the yellows, the oranges and browns
~ Halloween is just delicious!
We get to celebrate Thanksgiving
Apples are one of my fav. fruits! can you say Caramel Apple Cider?!? YUM
FOOTBALL!!!!! That means football food. can we say chips and dips GALORE
The cooler weather allows for jeans and cardigans (at night) and real shoes (read: not flip flops)
You can keep your windows open and feel the gentle cool breeze and smell the leaves
Thanksgiving! Is there anything better? Well Christmas ties, but family and great food!
B.e.a.utiful decorations (and you don't have to dust because it goes with SPOOKY)
All the fun catalogs
Family Pictures w/cards
Picnics are my favorite
Jumping in the leaves
Going on lots of walks as a family
After Fall comes Winter and that brings:
YUMMY homemade treats!!!
TC's birthday, My birthday, a new Baby, and Jordan's birthday
WONDERFUL holiday movies!!!
New Years Eve (we always eat our weight in Shrimp Cocktails)
Constant singing
The celebration of our Saviors Birth
Christmas Breakfast at my Moms (Granddad style aka: eggs made to order!)
The traditional Armour Family Ham dinner (w/ Pillsbury Crescent rolls for J! it's a new tradition we LOVE)
Trying out the new presents (last year we got J to taser himself)
Sweater and Cardigans EVERYDAY!!!! (perfect post baby)
And our Anniversary comes in the early new year.
i have always felt that September was the offical start of Autumn. That's becasue everywhere else I have lived (not OK) September is Fall (after Labor Day that is).
So please excuse me while I search this for fun crafts and decorations because after labor day it's time!

Even if Oklahoma is not on the right thermostat.

I have been thinking lately of all the things I can start to bake and cook and craft and it gets me sooo excited. This fall is extra special for you because it means it's that much closer to the new brother!
Can I just say that memory is still my favorite from last Christmas? I don't know that anything will top it! And I think it's an Armour thing, we all love fall. What's not to love, though right?
But can you eat your weight in shrimp cocktail this year?
I totally forgot we coerced Jordan into using the taser on himself. Yeah for Brothers-in-law!
