It's here, it's here, fall is finally here! We had one weirdly warm day this week (mid 80's and humid) and then the rest of the days have been in the 50's-60's...perfect for snuggling into sweaters, enjoying pumpkin spice drinks, and getting a better night's sleep (no more hot bedrooms!) Not so perfect for the middle schooler who insists on wearing flip flops and shorts, with no jacket...and let's not forget going to the bus stop with wet hair each morning. But, we will work on modifying that...
What a week...busy at work, busy at school, busy making plans for future outings. The older I get, the more I really, really look forward to the weekends, and not having to get up at 5am to get my work day started. Turns out that 6:30am is more of a natural wake-up time for me...but everyone else in my family is up much, much earlier. At least they let me sleep in and don't insist that I'm up with them so early on the weekends.
My parents have officially moved to Lakeville, so it feels a bit strange driving by their old place here in town, but, their new place is lovely, and we're looking forward to spending lots of time there in the future. We're also looking forward to an upcoming trip to Florida to visit Deb and Whitey...at that point, we'll be ready for a break from this cooler (not complaining, tho) weather!
A big thank you to everyone who donated to both Ava and G's school fundraisers this past week! RMS exceeded their goal, which means everything on their wishlist will be covered - awesome! The kids celebrated with a big, outside party on Friday, which included ice cream and prizes.
As for G, turns out that the kickoff for his fundraiser is actually tomorrow, but with the help of our donors, he has already met his goal of $10/lap! At the PTO meeting this week, the chair for the fun run fundraiser commented that we've already had donations (yes, that's you!) and that we can track the states where they are from...she specifically called out New York and Florida, so I knew those were from my aunt Steph and Deb & Whitey! :) Minnesota was well covered, so that state didn't get a specific call out, but the donors there (my parents and Complete Truck Repair) are just as appreciated.
It'll be fun to see where RPE's fundraiser ends up...all of the kids will be doing the fun run on 10/16, so we're hoping for fantastic weather so they can be outside to burn off all of that energy. It will be a great week with lots of exciting events for the kids.
Today is a lovely Sunday in MN, and we're hoping to squeeze in a trip to an apple orchard this morning. We look forward to going every year, and I'm so happy that the weather cooperated this weekend. Looking forward to making apple crisp and getting some fresh air and sunshine today!
To welcome fall, I put together this fun, decorative piece to greet visitors as they enter our home
