Fall, Beautiful Fall!!!

It's finally starting to cool off around here. After a summer of 113*+ days, it's quite a relief to see days in the low 90*'s. I know to a lot of people, that'd still be quite warm, but to us, it's time for playing outside!



It's also time to break out the cookbook and start looking for new recipes. And soups. Yum. I love fall because it starts cooling off enough that I actually find myself wanting to DO stuff... I'm not exhausted from just THINKING about the heat outside.



Today I whipped up some Fire Crackers.... and some not so fire crackers (same song, but without the red pepper flakes) which are in essence Ranch Crackers. Of course, my sensitive palette can't take the heat like Hubby's can, so I eat 1 hot cracker to every 2 ranch ones. The boys are LOVING them too. Logan likes the hot ones... go figure.

Speaking of, little man will be TWO on Friday. Where, oh WHERE does the time go?? Although I'd love to say he's growing up too fast, there are certain stages of life that I kind of prefer to pass by in a blur. I still cherish the moments, but some days leave me with a few more gray hairs. This is especially true when your child is clingy, daring, smart, sneaky, curious, or a combination of ALL of the listed.



Logan is my little buddy - he's a momma's boy through and through - but watch out for the seconds he's NOT with me... and eerily quiet. Chances are he's on the top bunk, naked, or ripping something apart. Or all three. Ah, two years old. Fun times. The little stinker would be in a lot more trouble a lot more often if he weren't so stinkin' cute. He has this "oh, pity me" face that can get him out of a lot of situations. And he uses it for his benefit.
