Fall is in the air.

As we move into fall I'm getting so excited about all the fun activities we have planned.  I love this time of year, it's my favorite season.  Our house is finally settling into a routine and I'm enjoying each of my kids in their various stages.  Goose is loving school which is awesome.  Bubba is playing soccer and really seems to enjoy it while Baby boy is in the trenches of potty training.  Our days are filled with activities and seem to be going by so fast.  I really need to step back and enjoy this time in our lives because it's going to be over before I know it.

We have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.  In September we are going camping with some family friends.  It's our 4th year and it's become a wonderful tradition.  The kids always look forward to it.  In October we are going to make it to "Fall Fest" in Wisconsin with the family which we haven't gone to since Goose was two.  We plan to go to a pumpkin farm and enjoy a hayride.  Each year we like to take the kids apple and berry picking which again is a big hit and we top off the season with our annual trip to Bengston's Farm.  Of course we can't forget Halloween.  It's so fun to plan what the kids will dress up as.  Bubba hasn't really dressed up yet for the holiday due to the fact that he doesn't like wearing costumes.  This year he wants to be Spiderman and so we went to Target and got him the costume which he immediately put on and ran around the house saving people from danger.  Baby boy is still pretty young so I get to pick his costume. He is really into Thomas the Train so I thought what better costume then to be the real Thomas (or so he thinks.)  He too wants to wear his costume 24 seven.  Goose is a little harder because she wants to be so many things.  For as long as we can remember Halloween has been her favorite holiday.  She loves everything spooky and gross.  The more morbid the better.  At this point she wants to be a cat so if in a few weeks she is still committed to that we will start to put her costume together.  I really cherish these times with our family. I can't wait to post pictures of all our fall adventures.
