Where oh where has summer gone? For the first time ever, I am not bummed over summer coming to an end. We have a ton of stuff to do that we are looking forward to.

Connor has his first Kindergarten field trip this Wednesday. The entire Kindergarten is going to Eckarts which is, at this time of year, an apple farm. I am wanting to go with them but work will dictate that this coming week. I am excited to get Craig out for these fall activities as well. He is SUCH an outdoor boy, I know he will just love the apple farm, fall festivals and of course pumpkin picking. We are already looking at Halloween costumes for that will sneak up before you know it (I'm leaning towards Star Wars). Then in November, we are heading to the Wisconsin Dells for a few days with Beck, Chad, Alex, Dad and Penny. Before you know it, it will be Connor's 6th b-day and the Christmas. For the first time ever, both Jim and I have taken the entire week off. I am very much looking forward to many days with no planned activity.
