It feels like November! Does anyone else love when it gets dark early? I’ll admit it makes me a little lazier, but there’s something about the earlier nights that make me want to slow down in a good way. We do less running around than we do in the summer, and that leaves more time for lazy family evenings. Last night we put on pj’s around 5 o’clock – Jason wasn’t even home from work yet!

I sat on my bed with the girls and we read for a little bit and then I tried to teach K to play Sonic, like the original Sonic for Sega. It was a cute and exhausting endeavor. “You gotta jump up there! Push right! No, hold right and push jump! No, push them at the same time!” Then after dinner, we made popcorn and watched kids’ Christmas songs until bed time. It was so nice to kick back and have no agenda. Don’t get me wrong, I love the warm summer nights, the concerts in the park, the music festivals… but when DST hits, I’m ready. (Only figuratively, because we literally forgot it was even happening this year until the morning after. #fail)
I’m excited for extra snuggles under fuzzy blankets, winter lagers, and family jammies.
When someone asks my favorite season, a lot of times I answer whatever season we’re currently in, because it just feels right at the time. I love summer for summer, obviously. But also fall with the cooler weather and Halloween and apple cider. Now that we’re approaching winter, I’m excited for extra snuggles under fuzzy blankets, winter lagers, family jammies (yup, I totally ordered us family jammies), and all of the upcoming holidays for the next few months. And of course everything in the slow cooker! I love coming home to the smell of a hearty meal that’s already made for me! I’ve been working on living in the moment more, and I think maybe November is exactly what I need right now.
