A finally gave in and pulled the quilts out of the closet. I love the quilt season, just hate the snow that inevitably follows autumn. Our leaves are turning colors nicely and the air is beginning to have that crispness to it. We put some of our pumpkins on the front porch and our neighbor came by today with some corn stalks complete the ensemble. We gave the kids 2 of the littler pumpkins to put on the playhouse porch and there’s a cute autumn wreath…it really looks darling. My dad built it last year for them and they love playing in it.

It was so nice last night! I forgot how much I love putting a nice thick quilt on my bed and just snuggling into it. I slept so much better…the cat that usually sleeps on me didn’t have to move. She never got kicked off!

Pierce (who’s staying in his bed all night again), woke up very happy. He wore his first 2-piece flannel pair of pajamas and loved them. They’re red plaid with the buttons down the front of the shirt…so cute!

Dean (baby) is in footy jammies, too, instead of gowns…he’s so snuggly. I love babies in fleece footy jammies.

I gave Gab an old pair of of satin pj’s I have had and not worn in awhile. It’s her first set of satin, so she’s loving it.   She’s really surprised at how warm they are.

So now that this is all settled (new pajamas and quilts on the beds), the weather is bound to heat up on me.

I sat down to write something and just couldn’t find anything to say.

I’ve done the bit of politics (that’s as far as I get!), the animal posts (LOVE animals), the kid post (Halloween)….

So I guess I’ll just ramble for a bit. Hope you don’t get bored!

I love this season. I love the holidays coming up; decorating, something to look forward to, parties to throw, the changes in smells and sights. I love making a hot dinner for my dh and kiddos when they come in from work or playing outside. I love having an excuse to make apple pie. Or cider, or bread, or applesauce. I love the cinnamon smell in my kitchen.

I love watching the leaves turn colors and trying to pick my favorite one. Bright red, yellow, orange…it’s amazing. Like splashing a bucket of paint on the trees. I love the smell of the leaves and pines.

I love bundling up babies in soft, fuzzy clothes and how cuddly they are. And I love the chill at night and putting a thick quilt on my bed.

This is my (second) favorite time of year and I love drinking in each day.
