lady fall

Almost overnight lady fall has made her way in. But since soup and sweaters and anything that starts with pumpkin {rolls,cookie,cakes, casserole} gets my heart beating a bit faster..I am happy she is here..So without any further adieu

I would like to say...

On behalf of the great Spud State, Idaho wholeheartedly welcomes you!
Good to see you Autumn.

Even if my bathroom scale isn't quite as thrilled with her arrival I am taking comfort that my yoga pants, oversized cable knit sweaters and the most exciting of them all overalls?!?Are happy she is here. {pinterest as my source those endless array of pocket bibs are BACK)

There is something magical about Autumn that makes me want to drink cider, with a good book in hand and eat pie with reckless abandonment.

I personally am just thrilled to trade in my swim suit in for big sweaters....sweaters  don't seem to judge you for indulging in a meal that start now and ends just in time for New Years....No, sweaters speak logic...well, pumpkins are good for you, have another....chocolate does come from trees....kinda like a salad...Somebody baked those cookies for you, eating anything less then all of them would be impolite...offensive really..That has to be what I love most, she understands in a way summer clothes possibly couldn't....I think it is safe to say my love affair with Fall food is preventing Summer and I from ever really becoming BFF...Summer brings on a classic case of sessional depression ;) all coming back to swimsuits or sweaters....

Summer doesn't lend quite as well to another one of my fall wardrobe favorites:

Stretchy pants.....You no longer have to be under 5 or over 95 to wear those babies....Did she just get back from the gym....or did she just roll out of bed??....they will never know.

While I truly  look forward to all the wonderful "comforts" fall has to offer,  I am still not convinced enough to embrace the " bib overall" trend...as thrilling as it is....{I am confident my Madre is just beaming with the news...actually I called and related the memo and she totally was}

In my heart I feel that overalls were the sole reason that I was so boy-friendless in my youth.... Okay maybe bib overalls were just one of the reasons why...or possibly not to blame at all;) But I do vividly remember "sneaking" embroidered snowman overalls out of my Moms closet...I never understood why she didn't want her middle school daugters to borrow her clothes.. And you may think that they were really just in style at the time...maybe in junior high they were but quite honestly I really can't recall anyone but Candi and I wearing them all the way into our high school years....So either we were a decade ahead of our time or......


I truly have a whole arsenal of memories of why this "phenomenon" could've been.....what stands in the forefront but most definitely was not the worse contributers/offender in myrelationship status is what I like to remember  as the.."pumpkin patch incident"

My senior year my twin sister and I dressed up as pumpkins for halloween.
we were a "pumpkin patch"..Aren't teenage boys supposed to go crazy for cute things like that?!? Nope....what?

Speaking of cute things....Below are some pretty dang cute kids...just ask their Dad ;)
