Back to School

It's also time for school to start (Tuesday for my monkeys)! I am so happy, because back to school means back to learning, which I am VERY blessed to have children to love to learn. It also means fall is just around the corner and I could not be more excited by that.

September is prep month for me, get my holiday plans in order as best I can (living in the same city as both sides of the family means we have to plan well, and early). I figure out Halloween costumes, start planning Christmas gift list and meals, and list out what events I want to be sure to attend.

Then comes October and I start singing, "It's the most wonderful time of the year! There is pumpkin for eating and people for visiting and so much to do! It's best time of of the year, through and through!" And from October 1st to January 1st I am in seasonal heaven!

So much to do, to love, to see, to participate in, to enjoy and to share! Summer is fun and offers camping and outdoors with the kids, but it's too hot and too busy all the time. Fall has a smell, a taste and feel. It filters through the air and settles on you like a drifting crimson leaf!
ACK!!! I cannot wait!
