Nott at All

Everything good happens to me in autumn!

I was born in autumn

I fell in love with my wonderful Mark and then he proposed in autumn

Merrill was born in autumn

Nora was born in autumn

I love school time in autumn - the idea of starting a new year, learning new things and new classes - it is exciting!

I love the smells of autumn! Everything from the crispiness of the fresh cold air to the warm smell of pumpkin pie in the oven. Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and cloves... mmmmmm!

Autumn is a time of anticipation... the big holidays are coming! Halloween, Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!!!

There is so much fun in harvesting gardens and putting up the food for the winter.

The colors! The colors! The colors! I love the orange, brown, and the beautiful burgundy! The whole world turns into a gorgeous painting of all of my favorite colors as soon as I step outside!

Sweaters! I love wearing sweaters, hoodies, thick socks and long sleeves, curling up with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate (even pumpkin spice hot chocolate) and enjoying the shortening days with earlier bedtimes! : )

The family fun day at the park was a blast! Nora and I shopped while the boys had fun on the giant blow up toys.

GREAT DAY!!!

Our lovely IKEA dining room table... BEFORE

Merrill was such a good help! We sanded and painted together all day!

AFTER!!!!

I did the final coat and sanding the edges myself tonight while Daddy and Merrill are off to see Cars 2. I have to say... I LOVE IT!!!
