Falling into Autumn

This week we are going to celebrate Matt's 31st birthday and Fall. Fall is the favorite season in Otto's house. We enjoy crisp weather and apples. I am never happier than sporting my Uggs and hooded sweaters. Matt has already donned his track suits. Some highlights of autumn include:
1.) Apple picking- Honey crisps, galas, Granny Smiths- yum! So far I am planning on making an apple crisp, a pie, apple sauce, and homemade vanilla ice cream.
2.) Pat's games and tailgate parties- Once a week Matt makes a dish from the opponet's city. We started it last year and we decided to continue with the tradition.
3.) Puffy down vest- Matt may poo poo them but Logan and I adore our vests. Warm sweatshirt, stretch gloves, vests, and hats are a must on our trips to the playground on those chilly October days.
4.) Return of our favorite shows- The Office, 30 Rock, Dexter, and Bored to Death=HOORAY. Delicious mind candy.
5.) Halloween in Salem- that is ALL I have to say.

Yawn

Posting on my Blogger app with my feet up- nuff said. Seriously- I am exhausted. I do not remember work to be this tiring. The count down is on for summer vacation (170 school days if you are curious). Weekends are just a mere tease (2 days, blah). Logan and Paige take naps for granted. Mom and dad need the siesta more than they do. As I type this- Matt just passed out in his chair.

School Days School Days

Another school year is upon us. Matt and I have returned to work and the cherubs are in school. Logan and Paige attend Best Friends Learning Center, which they absolutely adore. The teachers and the staff are wonderful-- smart, sassy, and fun. Logan loves all of his teachers and Paige already seems please with her room. Currently there are only four other babies in Paige's class- three other girls and one boy (this certainly was the year of the girls). Apparently Paige is already the class "gabber." Her teachers cannot believe how much she babbles (well they are not too surprise considering who her brother is). Logan loves showing off his new little sister with his classmates. He DID have a moment on Wednesday when Paige class went for a walk; he was confused and thought Paige was not coming back and started to cry. The school year is off to a busy yet sucessful start. Matt and I hope it continues.

Here we come Best Friends- hope you are ready for the Bear and Cupcake
