The Beginnings of Fall

Sweater dresses. Tights. Leg warmers. Cardigans. Oh how I just love fall with a little girl to dress up. 

We jumped into this weekend full on Craig style. Busy. Friday was the Dragon Dash. Our first ever school fundraiser. I happen to hate running. But the others, they love it. The whole family went to show Kaden support and run along with him. 

 Sister was the water girl. 

 And... They're off. 15 laps was the goal for each kindergartener. 15 laps. That's a lot if you ask me.

But nobody asked me. It's probably a good thing too. 12 down, still going strong.

Myles ran along too. He impressed me just as much as Kaden did. 

He kept up with those kindergartners like it was his job. He also made a friend. They even held hands for a while. 

 But, when she tried to give him a high five in front of Daddy someone got shy. 

 This kid nailed it. 19 laps total. Would have done more but time was up. My mama heart is proud. 

Saturday brought us a picnic in the park and a nature walk.

 They love sticks. I love when they hold hands.

 Kaden picked flowers for Amelia. I love that he is her first admirer. Next to Daddy that is.

Sunday. We were invited to go to the Fall Festival by Blake and Amy. Everyone was super excited. Perhaps Finley most of all. 

There were games.

And prizes. Lots of prizes. 

And face painting.

And train rides. 

I've never seen Finley as excited as he was to go on this train. 

Myles had to have green, so he sat in the back. By himself. Happy as can be. In his green car. 

And, of course, there was a hayrack ride.

A good time was had by all. It was the perfect kick start into fall.

I've got big plans for you, fall. And they're gonna be good. You better believe it.
