Its Saturday morning.....the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the crisp autumn breeze through the window and the smell of cinnamon buns in the oven. This is my favorite way to spend the first day of the weekend and a memory that I want Elijah to have when he grows up. I love Saturdays because its the first day of the weekend and I get to spend quality time with my three favorite boys (my little boy, my husband and or coarse Sam the dog!)
Fall brings harvest, cool breezes, pumpkin patch and corn mazes! I love it!!! This is my favorite season because not many people get to experience it like we folks in the Midwest :) Its something that is unique to us.....sure everyone has fall, but we get to see the trees change color, the leaves fall, the farmers finish up there hard work, the pumpkins ripen and of coarse the wardrobe change. The cute boots and fall jackets come out :) These are all the things I missed living in the south. I loved every second of the beach and the sun, but every time fall would roll around I missed living in this beautiful area.
When you combine fall with Saturdays AND cinnamon buns you get by far the perfect day :)
