Back to School: Kinder Edition

"You're off to great places, today is your day!  Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"
I'm still a little in disbelief that the hubs and I have an almost-6 year old who will experience his first full day of elementary school as a kinder in one week from today.  But he is so ready and is going to make one awesome little student.

Kingston and I had a special back to school shopping date a couple of weeks ago and I treated him to lunch -- McDonald's, his choice.  Afterwards, we went to a few of our usual spots and scored some pretty good deals on a few pieces that should hold the boy until Christmas (I hope). 
He is ready for blue Fridays (go Seahawks!), warm days and cooler days, to earn his first faux Letterman's hoody, and of course sport a little Star Wars for good measure.  We haven't decided what he'll wear on his first day yet, but I sure hope I leave the tears behind -- I have a feeling this first day will be one of the hardest!

#TBT: Fall Fun with Leaves

My "Throwback Thursday" post this week goes back to the end of October... on a beautiful sunny Fall day.  We went to our usual spot where we are always sure to find beautiful leaves (and lots of them) for a mini-photo shoot.  The boys didn't seem to mind this one... possibly because they got to have a fun leaf-throwing fight the entire time I took photos.

The first one is probably my very favorite. But I also like the one of Kingston standing by the tree looking up as if he is almost the little boy in "The Giving Tree."  These photos remind me how much I love Fall.  Is it too early to be ready for Fall again?!

{4th Annual} Pumpkin Patch with the Parsons

We made our fourth official trip to Lattin's Cider Mill with our good friends yesterday and it turned out to be a pretty great day for a pumpkin patch outing.  The weather cooperated, the pumpkins were plentiful, and the boys were all in good spirits... seriously friends, great day.  Oh, and the hubs got his melt-in-your-mouth uber-yummy and extremely delicious apple fritter.  I may have picked one out too.

Our choices from the patch: one small orange pumpkin, one medium orange pumpkin, one medium white pumpkin, one medium green/grey pumpkin, and one large orange pumpkin.
They are featured on our entryway table and on our front porch and add some fun fall vibes to our home for sure.

Our annual pumpkin patch outing is definitely one of my very favorites.
