2. How was everyone's Labor Day? We didn't do much of anything at all, and it was nice to just be lazy around the house.
3. Now I know, back to school starts for a whole bunch of your kiddos tomorrow, right? In our neck of the woods, school always started the day after Labor Day, but for my little Gracie, school is still about a month off yet. One of the benefits to homeschooling is starting when you want! We traditionally start in October, usually right around the 2nd week. In September, we go to Sunriver as an annual last vacation for us all. All the families have cleared out and we're left with beautiful weather and the bike paths and village to ourselves. It's the perfect time of year to go!
4. I'm 24 weeks pregnant now at this point. I was going to have Josh take a belly pic this week, but there wasn't really time, so now I'm just waiting for the 25 week mark. One of my pregnancy apps informed me that he's the size of an eggplant, lol! I can't wait to actually start preparing for his arrival. We won't be working on the babies room until after we get back from Sunriver and the anticipation is killing me. I've got ideas and I just want to implement them. However, I did buy my diaper bag for the little man so I'm thrilled about that!
5. Eden went camping for the very first time last week with Gracie for a few days with my parents. She did awesome and didn't want to come home, lol! I was alone in the house for a few days and bored out of my mind. Other than going to the gym in the mornings vs. the evening, there wasn't a lot to do. Josh and I just watched movies in bed and tried to relax and recoop after having so much family in town.
6. I think this is one of our last week's of heat, because I was looking at the predicted forecast for next week and I saw rain on the horizon! YES, FALL HERE I COME!
7. Speaking of Fall, we never got around to really planting any type of garden this year, which breaks my heart. What are some easy plants to grow in the fall that we could actually get some use of? Do you know of any?
8. Have I mentioned to you ever that Fall is my favorite season? I can't wait for the leaves to change colors! I miss my boots and sweaters. Well, cross out the sweaters, none of my sweaters are going to fit me right now, lol! Looks like I'll need to do some Fall shopping.
9. I want to go apple picking really really bad this Fall. I think I went once when I was like 4 years old because my mom tells me the story of how I had a conniption fit in the car on the way there and made it miserable for everyone. Anyone know of any good apple picking places in Oregon? I would really prefer not to have to drive to Hood River. I'm not sure if Josh would go that far for apples.
10. What's your favorite thing about Fall?...1...2...3...Go!

One of my favorite things about Fall is the cooler mornings and the crispness in the air!!! I love the sweater weather too and that the hubs and I can cuddle w/o dying of heatstroke!!! :)
