first day of fall

september 22nd, first day of fall
i now sympathize with my mother, who for my entire life served toast with only a spot of butter in the center of the bread instead of lovingly spreading the butter out evenly from crust to crust.
who has time to worry about spreading the butter? please. we're lucky it made it on the toast at all.
but fall is here and summer officially over. and even with the days slowly becoming shorter, production seems to pick up as the weather grows cooler. spirits are up and everyone(me) is a bit more patient and just overall happier.
happy, happy first day of fall -- it couldn't have come at a better time.


best reads this summer:
in cold blood. truman capote
catching fire. suzanne collins

worst:
the forest of hands and teeth (what a huge disappointment). carrie ryan
the hourglass door. lisa mangum

Is it really fall? Not at my house, I'm still sweating over here :)

Oh, I'm ready for another baby! So precious!

(love the house. i still can't believe the leather, i don't know why...)

if i were a snowbird, i think i'd like fall so much more. i'm really trying to enjoy it and not just dread the winter.

spreading butter on toast is obnoxious anyways... who likes to deal with all the messy crumbs it makes.

oh, and stop making changes to your house and pretending like it's no big deal.

can't wait to see all the new stuff tomorrow!

p.s.
glad your spirits are up... nothing like the best season of the year, to cheer a mama up.
