Fall

I am so ready for Fall to get here. The weather has been cool in Oklahoma the last few days and has really made me anxious to start bundling up in warmer clothes, making cold weather food and kicking back with a good book or movie. Not to mention the fact that it's nearly hockey season. I overheard someone the other day saying that some of the hockey games have been cancelled due to the fact that the games conflict with the OKC Thunder. I haven't checked yet to see if this is right but if it is I guess I'll have to find it in my heart to forgive them.

I am going to the Pumpkin Patch with my family again this year. If we can talk dad in to going it will be the first time we've all gone together. I'm sure that most people would think this is not too incredibly exciting , but I have looked forward to it the last few years. You get to walk out in the patch and pick out however many punkins you want to take home. The kids get in free if they wear their Halloween costumes so it's a lot of fun to see them all dressed up. My niece went through the corn maze last year and had a blast. She got through in no time. I would have been hopelessly lost. Somehow, last year I got wrangled into scooping out all of the punkin guts before we carved them. Oh well.

Not a whole lot else is going on in my world right now but I seem to be constantly busy. How does that happen? I know that once I'm back from the trip to the Pumpkin Patch I'll go full in to Christmas mode. I wish I knew now whether or not I am going to be able to go home for Christmas. Here's hoping.
