Cheers to October

Warmly Fall is right. If this heat wave doesn't let up soon we will be getting the kids individual air conditioning units for Christmas. I kid...but seriously can it just cool off already?!

Regardless of the temps outside, Target is always comfortable. Especially when you don't have any children with you and the dollar bins are chalked full of autumn paraphernalia.

What started as a quick run in to get Clorox wipes and q-tips turned into a coffee strolling,  transform the dining room, stop at Trader Joe's to pick up flowers and more white little pumpkins mini mama vacation. 

I always welcome the changing of seasons and the excitement that comes with start of the holiday trifecta. This month Drake's travel schedule is pretty heavy which means the kids and I hunker down. Easy dinners, early bedtimes. We are hopeful of exploring San Diego museums in the next few weeks and reading some new books. Juliana and I are reading the Harry Potter series together and the conversations we get to have about characters and story lines has been fun. 

Things I'm looking forward to this month:

1. Trent getting his cast off

2. Country concert with my big guy and good friends

3. Baking more pumpkin cookies

4. Cousin trip to the pumpkin patch

5. Movie date to watch Anne of Green Gables with Juliana

6. Celebrating Trent's 7th birthday at Disneyland

7. Adult trip to Cabo 

Lastly, a little randomness...more for my personal memory files :)
