The Molyneaux Family: Reasons I'm glad it's Fall

I realize that I've already made a list similar to this one, but for lack of a better explanation I don't feel like doing any other prompt. My brain feels lazy...yet I feel the need to blog. So, here we are!

1. Cooler weather - it's been a record high this summer. Although I feel like EVERY summer we hear that. I'm tired of this 90+ degree weather with 1,000 % humidity.....and I need something cooler.

2. Pumpkin Spice Latte - just a little piece of heaven.

3. Fall Decorations - We've only been in our house for 2 years now...so I'm still gathering decorations little by little. And I'm pretty excited about adding some new fall decor to our home!

4. Hoodies - I love hoodies. If I could wear them on a daily basis, I would. So, Fall(and Winter) means a hoodie will be my weekend attire. .

5. Fall scented candles - I love anything vanilla or Cinnamon scented, which go great with "Fall Seasonal Fragrances" Hmmm, I can smell them now.

6. Leaves - I don't know what it is about leaves changing colors that truly marks the sign of Fall in my mind, but I love it. It's beautiful and makes me appreciate nature more.

7. Carving Pumpkins - Since this is Noah's first Halloween it will make carving pumpkins THAT much more fun. Eric and I carved pumpkins a few years back...and haven't since. So, this year there is no excuse. Noah must have a pumpkin. And we MUST roast the seeds. Yummy!

8. Halloween - I'm guessing the list wouldn't be complete without this on there! I must say I've been a scrooge about Halloween the past few years (well, not Halloween the holiday...mostly just trick or treaters). Funny how having a kid changes things. Not that he will remember any of this when he gets older, but I will have fun buying him a costume and dressing him up....and maybe eating his candy. HA. Also, our friends have a big Halloween bash every year...so something to look forward too. Noah...might be a monkey this year. Just sayin'

9. Hot Chocolate - I realize you can drink hot chocolate any time of the year, but its more special when you drink it while its cool and crisp outside. I personally like mine with tons of mini marshmallows in it :) YUMMMMMMM

10. Sweaters and long sleeve shirts - I'm not real sure why I love sweaters and long sleeve shirts so much, but I just like Fall/Winter apparel more than Spring/Summer. Maybe because they cover up more? Hmm, could be! haha Either way, I love them and I'm so glad I'll be able to wear them soon! Oh and turtle necks too...
