Farewell Summer

I've always been a summer person.
I live for the warmth and sunshine and beach days and flip flops.
I definitely feel like the weather teased me just a teensy tiny bit by giving
us gorgeous 90 degree weather last week.
It was amazing just spending our last days of summer floating 
around in the pool all day.

But now that this week has cooled down and I've been forced to wear jeans
for the first time since summer began?
I have to admit I'm enjoying putting on cuddly socks
and playing board games indoors with Aidyn.
Candy Land will forever be my favorite.
Chutes and Ladders is Aidyn's but man that game can last f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
To prove to myself I was getting into the Fall spirit
I pulled out all our Halloween decorations.
And then I woke up this morning.  Looked at them and thought...
Yup. I am definitely going to be sick of these by October.

I guess I jumped the gun a bit on the Halloween decorations.

You are SO Funny! I want Fall to come so badly, but I know that the decorations will not bring the matching weather. Luckily for me, all of my stuff is back at the old house. I'm sure that it would be coming out next week :) hahaha

Cole's love of games started with Candy Land and has continued onwards. I love it!

And I refuse to put out Halloween or fall decorations until it is actually fall!! :)
