Things I’m Looking Forward To In The Fall
Can you tell I couldn’t come up with a better or shorter title for this Top Ten Tuesday post?? Uh, yeah. It’s 6:30 am and my brain isn’t functioning all that well.
Anyhoo…moving on!
Dare I say it??
Fall is not far away. ACK! Back to school is not far away. Double ACK!! Everyone around me is buzzing with back to school shopping and talk of the school bus coming.Even though Katelyn isn’t technically really in Kindergarten yet, she’ll be doing Kindergarten at the little school she did Pre-K at and I have to drive her half an hour and back every day. Not really looking forward to that! But when the tuition to a good, cute little school is paid for you, you can’t complain!!
I am SO NOT READY for Summer to be over. And it happens all to quickly here in New England. Fall here is beautiful. I love Fall. However, Fall being here signals the coming of a long, depressing, dull and disgusting winter.
I LOATHE winter here.
However, there are a few things I’m looking forward to come September. I truly enjoy the month of September to December 31st. It’s January to April that I don’t like!!
I present to you : Top Ten Things I’m Actually Looking Forward To In The Fall
1. My birthday in September. Wait….maybe I’m not looking forward to being a year older!
2. Being able to start singing in our church choir.
3. Helping start up a missions themed Wednesday night Bible club for the kids at our church. I’ll be teaching the 2.9-5 year old’s. It’s going to be great and I hope we have a good turn out for it.
4. Halloween. I love Halloween! I’ve always loved it. I know many Christians “frown” on it but I love seeing my girls dressed up in their costumes, trick or treating, school parties and our church’s big Trunk Or Treat event. I think my love for it goes back to when I was preschool teacher and we had so much fun decorating out classroom for Halloween and the kids all came dressed in their costumes for our big party.
5. Finding out the gender of our baby in October! I can’t wait for that. I’ll also enter the second trimester here so that will be a great milestone as well.
6. Apple and Pumpkin Picking.
So fun! There’s nothing like biting into a chilled, crisp apple right from the orchard
7. The sights and smells of Fall.
Love the crisp- but- not- freezing air. The Pumpkin Spice candles. The beautiful colors.
8. Thanksgiving.
Who doesn’t love that time of year. Thanksgiving and then…. Christmas! Wait, did I just say Christmas?? But it’s August!
9. The return of “Glee”.
Need I say more?
10. Being able to start buying new, cute maternity clothes.
I’ve only ever been at the end of my pregnancies in the summer and beginning of Fall. I’m going to have to buy winter maternity clothes. I love maternity clothes because they are comfortable, cute and give me a good excuse for showing my belly. (That’s already there in the first place! Ugh.)
