Fall is definitely upon us and I fear Indian summer has passed and we have fallen thick into the autumn season. Don't get me wrong, I love the cool weather and the developing foliage. I just hate to let go of my favorite season... SUMMER! I actually enjoy all the seasons quite well but wish winter began the day after thanksgiving and spring started the first of the year. I would love to have a few big snow storms mixed in for the holiday festivities. Okay, back to reality!
We had the first fire of the season about a week ago. There is nothing like the smell of wood smoke and apple pie to get you in the mood for pumpkin picking, witches and goblins. This year Zoe has opted out of dressing up. I am very sad about this because it is just another sign that she is growing up way too fast. Violet is going to be a kangaroo, complete with a joey in her pouch. Zoe dressed up in this costume one year and when she arrived home after a night of trick-or-treating she discovered that her joey was missing. It was a sad night and we feared he would be gone forever. A few days later I noticed about 1/2 mile up the road what looked like roadkill in a small trench. Luckily for us it was Joey and he was happy, healthy and not worse for the wear. Marina will be dressed as a little white kitten and Gavin as a Monkey complete with a banana. Not much of a stretch there though. I was going to have him be a pirate but I waited to long to order the costume and they were out of his size. I came across this monkey one and new it would suit him perfectly.
