Ah, Summer is leaving us.

Frankly, it’s gone.

My son’s little flip flop
on the left,
mine,
on the right.
They grow up so fast!

But Fall is here,

autumn baseball is fun,

and Halloween costumes are being made.

Pumpkins are growing on the vine and black cats seem more prevalent!

Boo!

And Happy Autumn, my favorite time of the year!

I Saw Decorated Christmas Trees on Columbus Day

Christmas tree     As I just typed that title I thought of the movie line from The 6th Sense– ‘I see dead people.’

But in a weird way, that is kind of appropriate, in a ‘this could not really be happening’ kind of way-

Yesterday, it did happen.  The day started off like any other, a nice morning, a day off school, a pleasant breeze, the fresh Fall air…

and my son and I were walking through Sears… and he stopped in his tracks…

There, before us, were twinkling lights, Christmas decorations, ornaments and 7,

Yes, 7, Christmas Trees.

 I’m not ready for Christmas yet, repeat: 

I AM NOT READY FOR CHRISTMAS YET.

Let’s enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving, my son’s birthday… and then we can celebrate Christmas.

 

Post Script:  We then went to a Halloween store to pick out a costume for trick-or-treating…

weird.
