fall days

What a perfect, cozy Saturday! I enjoy the first few dark days of fall so much. I can hear the rain patter on the dry leaves outside our bedroom window, the wind is rattling the window pane, Ty is snuggled up in his bed for a nice nap and I think I'll do the same. I remember growing up having awesome thunder storms. I would wrap up in a blanket and sit on the heater under a small table while I read a book. The smell of hot cocoa or apple cider. The yummy smells of the coming holiday. Chocolate, spice, pine... I hope we have a thunder storm today, they make me so excited for the Holidays, I know they come and go so fast, but it's usually perfect timing since we get restless with the seasons. Mother Nature must know this. I feel lucky to have 4 seasons, to renew my goals and declutter and just feel inspired.

Last night we went to a Layton football game and I bundled Ty up so good, luckily he had some thermals. They are hilarious...red, quite tight on my muscle man, and I think we'll use them for his Halloween costume - the devil!! I just need a tail and some horns and he'll be the cutest devil around.

You should be a writer, loved the feeling you captured about cozy days. I use to sit on the heater vent too - I burned my nightgown a couple of times! Can't wait to see the cute little Ty devil!

Lacey, I found your blog today when I was visiting Amy's. It's hard to believe you are a Mom. I remember the days with you , Ashley and Stacy. Fun memories with the 3 musketeers in the neighborhood and joy school of course. Tell your family "Hi" from me. Have you been by the old house lately. Lots of changes but we miss you guys alot. I have a blog too if you want to check it out. I have updates about Stacy occasionally. Come over to dianej.name and take a gander. We have a missionary out in the field right now, can you believe my little Ben is an Elder?
