This week was pretty
uneventful…and I also forgot my camera everywhere we went. (I have got to convince the hubby that I “need”
a cell phone with a camera!) We did have
some fun times – Bible study on Tuesday morning, a play-date on Thursday
morning, shopping at Target (which is always an adventure with my 2- and 4-year-olds)
– but…no photos.
So today I’m giving you
my five favorite things about autumn.
Because I can. And because it
really is my favorite season. I think
because we don’t have a “real” autumn in Arizona (I grew up in the Midwest,
where the leaves have already changed and where it’s COLD about now and you freeze your tushy off at the local high
school football game…ah, memories…)
Anyway – here’s my list:
1.
Blue
Jeans. With flip flops. Because I live in Arizona.
2.
Holiday coffee creamers. Pumpkin spice, Peppermint…whatever
combinations they come up with. Except I'm not a big fan of Gingerbread.

3. Pumpkin muffins.
4.
Pumpkin bread.

5.
Pumpkin pancakes.
 |
| No pic - but here's the simple recipe! Yes this is a postie. I keep it on my fridge. I am aware of my bad handwriting. (By the way, the scribbles "grd" in front of "cinnamon" and "ginger" mean "ground.") |
6.
Pumpkin decorations.
 |
| One of my favorite autumn decorations - a tealight pumpkin house from Party-Lite. I love the little mouse in the window - she's wearing a pearl necklace! |
7.
Okay, so I’m giving you more than five
things. But I can’t pick just ONE!!
 |
| My Classic Winnie-the-Pooh Halloween tree. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so. |
8.
I think I have an obsession with “pumpkin”
anything.
 |
| Or eggplants. Another Party-Lite favorite - my eggplant tealight candle house. |
9.
New seasons of my favorite TV shows starting
up. I have a few that I like to
follow. It’s a weakness I have.
 |
| I can't help it. I love this show. Bryan calls it "nickus", though really "NCIS" looks more like "in-kiss." But "nickus" has stuck, and on Tuesday nights, Mama tries to watch parts of the show while Daddy tries to wrangle the boys to bed. |
10.
Back-to-school supplies. If you know the phrase “bouquets of sharpened
pencils”, then you are someone after my own heart and I’d like to meet you. There
is something about all those rows of notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, rulers,
crayons and glue that make me want to go back to school. I loved
school. (Remember, we’ve already
established that I am a nerd.)

11. The
leaves turning colors. Because we don’t
get to see this in Tucson, unless you go up Mt. Lemmon. (Which makes me think…day trip! The boys would love it!)
