10. I just went through all of the winter clothes. Gator had ONE pair of pants that fit him. So, I hit oldnavy.com and the amazing sales. I got lots of clothes for significantly less than full price (including 4 pairs of pants for Gator)! Bull is set with the hand-me-downs from Gator, and Monkey is set with the hand-me-downs from Bull (worn almost four years ago!).
9. Gator and Bull will celebrate birthdays soon (see #10!).
8. The temperature has been 50* every morning this week. We have left the house with jackets on every morning, and needed the heater and defroster in the van on the way to school. Have I mentioned that there are 6 boys (all in car seats/booster seats) in my van on Tuesdays and Thursdays?!
Proof:
7. The leaves are just barely beginning to turn, but it's happening. Little hints of red and gold are peeking through - which I love because these are some of my most favorite colors.
6. I went to Hobby Lobby (more amazing sales right now). I got a grapevine wreath for $2 and some floral stuff for about $5 and made my own wreath. The best thing is that I can change out the floral stuff according to the season.
5. Call it hormones or nesting, but I have been very artsy/creative lately. Some of my other creative endeavors: baby quilts, fabric beach balls, pentagon balls and wool felt blocks (wool purchased here) with jingle bells inside,
decorating Monkey's room, and plans for and execution of new artwork for our home. This book, this book, and this lady have inspired many of these little projects. Monkey and I at 27.5 weeks (I got a new haircut too!):
4. Apple Days (annual Fall Festival on our post) was this past weekend. I bought 4 frozen, homemade apple pies. I can't wait to taste them!
3. I bought Gator's costume, and figured out Bull's costume.
2. Gator football! Oh, how I long to be in The Swamp (on the Alumni side though - I'm pregnant!). It's a good thing that we're doing so well this year. That means major networks carry the games, and that means that we get to watch the Gators 1,260 miles away.
1. The inside of my house is really dirty/messy because I have not wanted to spend any time inside! I'm cleaning this weekend though!
