Autumn

Well it seems that Autumn has finally come for a visit. The weather is nice and crisp today and we are hoping it will stay around for a while. I am not a fan of hot weather once the pool and the beaches are closed (beaches without lifeguards, because the beach is always open).

Halloween is just a day away and the children I work with were so excited all week and could not wait for it to come. Here at our house, we are getting ready to open the door to the little ones who will be venturing out on a Sunday night. I have made up my bags (yes I do bags and fill them with candy) and have them waiting. I didn't decorate as much this year. Time seems to go by so fast, I find I blink and the holiday is upon us or is over.

Speaking of time NEXT weekend we will be turning our clocks back and getting that precious extra hour of sleep. I loved when this happens. When I was young and going out, I would try and convince my dad that I could stay out an extra hour but it didn't work. Not only did it not work for me it also did not work for my kids. I guess life does look different when it is you who wants something that another person will have to be evolved in. Oh well!!!

The holidays are just around the corner and then things will pick up. Getting ready for Thanksgiving and all the trimmings that go with that holiday. It will be a very blessed holiday and we have a lot to be thankful for.

Then Christmas will be upon us with all the busy and bustling we do to get ready for that holiday.

We will be busy with:

buying
shopping
wrapping
writing cards out
planning parties
buying food
baking
cooking
writing up lists
family to visit and friends to enjoy
eating
relaxing
traveling
worshiping

There is so much to do during the holiday but it is a time of year I just LOVE!!!!! I love all that comes with it. All the fun and busy times. The laughs and the enjoyment of just being loved and loving the people around me.

I will be starting to plan out my strategy of how to tackle such an undertaking but it will be done with love.

Wish me luck and I hope I will get to see if not spend time with one and all!!!!
