While technically fall started a few weeks ago, it still felt like summer around here. Today we woke up and it was so nice out. I was even able to dress Ethan in jeans! He looked so cute. See here's a picture. Fall is my favorite time of year. I'm a big football person, especially college ball. It's funny because my husband could care less about sports. He's a car guy. I guess my little man wins big because he's going to have me and his Pop to teach him how to play sports and his daddy to teach him how to work on cars. I think it's good that he's going to have the opportunity to do both.
Cooking in the fall is also wonderful. Apples are one of my favorite things and they are actually "in season" So far I've made applesauce, with no sugar of course and Ethan loves it. I think though the next time I make it I'm going to use a little less vanilla. My mom was up in the mountains recently and brought me home a big bag of different types of apples. We're going up to the mountains in a few weeks and I'm hoping that we'll still be able to pick apples. I think it would be lots of fun for Ethan.
The creative bug is finally starting to bite again and I'm getting all geared up for Ethan's first birthday party. It's going to be big by default because we have lots of local family. As per family tradition (that would be my side of the family) he's going to have carrot cake for his birthday cake. What's your favorite type of birthday cake? I'm also finally starting to work on his scrapbook. While I love scrapbooking I think that Facebook has really taken away from the art of it. It's so much easier to post the pictures on Facebook by month and be done with it. Have you found yourself doing this?
What is your favorite part of fall?
