Falling for Fall

I am a summer lovin' type of girl...
I'll take 100 degree temps over 60 degree
temps anyday, anytime.
I don't know if it's the extra weight
I'm carrying to keep me warmer (ha!)
or my new found love of orange...
but I'm FALLING for FALL!!!

Both kids sporting cute football shirts...

My children racing in the back yard. One carrying a football and the other in her gymnastics suit on a cool, fall evening...Putting together cute, little Halloween teacher gifts to hand out on October 1st...Making FOUR dozen cupcakes & cookies for Walker's school...Having friends over and treating them to McDonald's on the first day of a new Happy Meal toy...(so maybe it's not just in the fall that we do this!)Going to our first high school football game of the season...Eating an apple on a stick...And I mean really eating an apple on a stick...Even attending Walker's early Saturday morning football games in the cold and mud...
...because we have cute rain boots to wear!!!

...and we love to strut our stuff!

Sporty Spice is cute in the fall...

And she can always snuggle with Daddy when needed...Putting jeans on my 62 pound boy for the first time this season. He's getting waaaaaayyyy too big for this mama...

Looking at Haddie Girl's precious, frizzy little curls because it's cold and rainy outside...And wondering if she'll always have them?!?
Receiving Walker's first PROGRESS REPORT that was AWESOME! His lowest grade was a 98 in math which prompted Daddy to pull out his old report cards to show Walker how he always had high math grades! Cracked me UP!!!
Don't even let me get started on the fun Halloween-y outfits
some little BOOlicious girl has been wearing!

THUMBS up for FALL!!!

Oh I just smiled through this whole post! I'm a Summer girl all the way too, but the last few years I have really been getting into this Fall stuff too and LOVIN' orange! I think it's my 2nd favorite color after Yellow. ;) My kids were eager to run to get those Bakugon (sp?) at McDonalds too! Just precious your whole post is.. oh and WAY TO GO, Walker!

I, too, LOVE fall clothes!

I love seeing pics of your kiddos, as the joy in their hearts shines so brightly! Those pink rainboots are adorable, and so are Hadlee's curls!

Such sweet pictures and a great post! I love fall more and more every year, and I think it's because I have kids now. I didn't much care for this time of year before Landon and Brynne were born! Such fun times, new traditions, and lasting memories! Have a GREAT weekend!

I totally agree! I went through a "change of heart" for the seasons too. I've always been a summer girl, but since I've had kids, I loooooooooove the fall!!! :)
