I blame retail America for why my Halloween decorations are already up!

I mean c'mon,  I've stared longingly in the aisles at the candy corn and canned pumpkin for about a month now, jack nabbit, it's time!

But what time is it, exactly?

Friends, it is my MOST FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!

A 5 month Mia enjoying her 1st fall!

The spooky decorations, the fall leaves, the plastic pumpkins that look real, but can actually be thrown across the room at another sibling. YES IT IS THAT TIME!

Hot cider, pumpkin muffins, football games.

A 5 year old Bella wearing a 24 mo. jersey for Bears Day at school. Now that's some spirit!

Hayrides, costumes, apple picking.

Sweatshirts, gourds and mums.

I LOVE IT ALL.


This past weekend, we decked out our kitchen table with our homemade banner and our creepy Halloween tree. I loved every lovin' moment of it.

And then went back to Michael's for more. Somebody stop me.
