The Fall List

There are a variety of things I love about the Fall:

• It is the season I started dating my husband
• It is the season I got engaged to my husband (4 years later)
• It is when you can open your windows and smell the moist leaves beginning to fall
• It is the only season when I can justify going out to buy a scented candle just for the occasion
• It is the only season that gets a fancy alternate name: Autumn
• It is the season that smells like newly sharpened pencils (from one of my favorite movies)
• It is the season with the cutest clothes (check this post out)
• It is when babies get to start wearing hoodies (and a hoodie on a baby is, like, the cutest thing in the world).
• Soon the mums will start blooming in my yard
• It is the only season we make a special trip to the pumpkin patch (or, if we are luckly, the cider mill)
• It is the season of tailgating and chilly campfires
• It is the season on Halloween parties and Thanksgiving Dinner
• It is the only season I can justify watching scary movies (which by scary I mean Hocus Pocus or Sleepy Hallow)
• It is the best weather to exercise outside in because the slight chill causes you to move a little faster to get warm
• It is the season I found out I was having a sweet little boy
• It is the best season for drives through the county to see the autumn colors

And if you still aren't convinced... here's another reason to love the Fall.

We just had to try it out a little early. Judging by the fit, it may not fit in a month and a half.
