Fall is in the Air!

Yesterday was on the colder side and was grey and drizzly. Just the way I love it! I had gone to the movies with a good friend of mine Saturday night and we got home around midnight. Then we sat out in the car for an hour and chatted, like we were in high school or something! It was fun. I got up early with the kiddos and then when Orey got up he sent me off for a nap. It was a little before 8 so I figured I had an hour before conference started. Imagine my surprise when I woke up at noon!

I got up and the weather was still drizzly and wet and grey so I did what I like to do in that weather, I baked. I baked french bread for dinner and chocolate chip raisin oatmeal cookies. Alexander said the house smelled like Christmas. I was feeling satisfied inside because this is what I do.

Eric and Gabriel played outside bundled up in sweaters and using umbrellas.

My parents came to dinner and brought a bounteous and beautiful salad which I totally enjoyed (even though I am not supposed to eat salad). I ate a lot of avacados and tomatoes which were really yummy. Then we had apple and peach pie for dessert. JadaLynn enjoyed her spaghetti and definitley had to take a bath. Actually it was her second one in 3 hours. Right before G&G got there, she discovered how fun the toilet water is.....YUCK! Then she discovered impromptu sink baths :)

Three of the kids went walking in the rain, one went to bed early because he had to work in a few hours and the little ones went to bed at 7:30. All in all it was a nice fall evening with a lot of snuggling in under the blankets.

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!
