This is my favorite time of the year! I love that the weather is getting cooler, the leaves are changing and we get to wear jeans and fleece coats!
Today, we took our first family trip to the cider mill. Definately not one of my favorites, but still fun! We went to the one on 8 mile in Northville. Lilly was especially excited to pick a pumpkin, but to our surprise no pumpkin patch. They had a pile of pumpkins inside, so we settled for that. Our next cider mill excursion, we'll have to make sure there is a better selection! Thank goodness Lilly doesn't know the difference...yet! We had doughnuts, checked out the craft booths and watched the ducks.
So, the other day I was at work and I ran into a parent that works at Peanut Patch (a local pre-school). I found out the other day, that I need to get Lilly on the list in January. Can you believe it, our sweet little girl is going to school next year! I know, I know I have plenty of time, but when she said that I needed to get her on the list, it hit me, my baby is growing so fast. Everything I heard as a child "life goes by so fast, you're getting so big..." is true especially when you have kids our your own.
Speaking of school, things are going really well this year! I have my same kids from last year, plus a few extra. This is the first year I haven't come home complaining about how challenging my class is. They really are great! Of course, I am busy as ever~ I miss my days home with Lilly, but really I can't complain.
Lilly has adjusted well with me going back to school. Each morning, she'll say "momma going to school today, I go to Miss Kelly's". She gets it! She loves going to play with her new little friends. Just yesterday, she was asking to see her 2 friends Hannah and Elle. So cute:) It's been an smooth transition for her, and me.
Lilly Lately: She can't seemed to figure out if she likes witches or not. I shared with you in my last post that she loves her book with Sleeping Beauty and the witch. I told her witches are in books. I was wrong, Halloween brings out all the witches! And, Lilly notices them. She tells me "they are only pretend mommy". Lilly has a new clock on the way! I ordered a new clock for her bedroom. It will help her with when it's okay to wake up in the morning. She's been waking before 6. Way to early for my liking! It changes colors for sleeping and waking!
If your wondering, yes Lilly is abusing the "god dammit" line. We have been trying to teach her other words to use, however she finds it more fun to say it her way! Sorry if she's at your house and around your kids:) what do you do??
We are looking forward to Halloween! Lilly talks about it all the time~ I don't think she really knows what it means, but she'll soon find out!!
Happy Fall~
Love,
Kelli
