Goodbye Summer Hello Fall

 

POOF!  Goodbye to the laid back hot days and hello to the cooler busy days.  Life has already become chaotic for us.  With school, after school activities and rushing from one thing to another.  I don't entirely mind it and my kids are happier this way, especially my son.  

We ended summer under the Friday night lights as my daughter joined the middle school band with the high school band on the football field for Band Night.  My son spent the first half in the student section until he met up with another friend at halftime.  If you're curious about the picture it was neon construction night. My son wasn't participating correctly.  The rest of his baseball team knew the assignment.  It felt like the entire town was sitting on the bleachers but being at a football game is not my thing.  I was happy for the school and their win.  

The fall season started with a weekend of rain thanks to Tropical Storm Ophelia.  My son's Saturday baseball game was cancelled and we just hung out at home.   Of course, it was time for me to take out our fall decor.  I don't have much but here are a few things.  And yes, Saturday morning called for a cup of pumpkin spice coffee.  

A pic stolen from my daughter's Snapchat.  She's too cute.  

And for all you fall lovers from this summer lover:  

These dreary cooler days makes me want to just wrap myself under a blanket and forget about all of my responsibilities.  I find myself becoming more tired than usual and unmotivated.  But I'm going to push myself and make it a good season.  Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful.
