Three Things : Three Giveaways

We are a huge football family (my husband is a head varsity football coach). So, we kick off *grin* Fall with:
-a party for his coaching staff and their family
-one last 'family night' for us (we don't have much family time during 'the season')
And then there are all sorts of little things that the kids and I do, like a visit to the pumpkin patch, a annual hayride @ one of my best friend's house and a weiner and marshmellow roast @ my very BFF's house.

I celebrate autumn by being able to venture outdoors once again (I live in South Texas, where summers keep me indoors.) I get up early just to walk and enjoy the cooler air, crunch the acorns under my feet and save the prettiest ones to take home, and plant my winter garden with pansies and petunias. I love autumn!

In the fall I go letterboxing! www.letterboxing.org
I love going out to see the fall colors and soak up the last of the sunshine.

My husband & son have take a hike at least once during this season. We love to see the beautiful colors!

I love fall and all that goes with it - having lots of bonfires, playing in the leaves, baking tons of apple crisp and pumkiny stuff. However, your comment theme has me thinking about starting some specific fall traditions. Thanks for the inspiration!

I celebrate fall by getting out my flannel footie pajamas and having a pj day on a gray Saturday.

I like to celebrate fall by driving around and looking at all the pumpkin fields and of course we take out our halloween decorations very early and we plant bulbs.

Being an Aussie November is the last month of Spring so it's lots of outdoor time for our family. It is also the month of my birthday.

I teach high school so fall is all about back to school, getting to know my new classes, and homecoming games and spirit week, grading stacks of English essays and showing up at work at 630am with a cup of McDonald's coffee. It's about walking my dog through the fallen leaves and coming home and putting on the red fuzzy slippers.

pumpkins
spiced chai lattes
leaves (jumping in them)
long walks with my hubby (it's finally cool outside for him to be there more then thirty seconds without dying of a heat stroke :) )

I love Stacy's kit, would love to win that!
Happy October!

I celebrate fall by going to the local orchard (my eighth grade teacher owns it) to get apples and then making apple sauce and apple butter.

My favorite part of fall in Florida is going to football games! I grew up in South Florida, so we get left out of the chilly nights and the changing of the leaves - in fact, my teachers would give us extra credit if we could bring in leaves that had changed color, just to "prove" it happened. I was fortunate in that my parents did have a place in NC, so we would go up for a week to see some leaves, go to a country fair, and participate in the annual Wooly Worm festival in Banner Elk, NC (http://www.woollyworm.com/), so I did get to taste fall at least.

OH! OH! PICK ME! PICK ME! (visualize me wiggling in my seat and raising my hand in your face...like when you were in school)
We celebrate fall lots of ways. Decorating the house for starters and my kids, 10 and 13 years old STILL ask to go to the pumpkin patch/cider mill. I documented it here on my blog.

i celebrate fall by lining my porch with pumpkins and mums! it is such a beautiful display of fall! and i really get in the mood of the season when starbucks starts selling their pumpkin spice lattes! :)

we take the kids to the pumpkin patch--in matching fall outfits for some pictures. And we make countless batches of my grandmother's pumpkin muffins!

I celebrate the beginning of fall by pulling out all of my scarves and enjoying the feel of them, especially the hand crocheted ones. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on my mood, we haven't had fall begin yet here in California.

This is the first fall for my husband and I as home owners, so we are trying to start some new traditions this year. We just bought the most pumpkins ever-8! Some of them were chosen at a local pumpkin patch, which we hope to visit going forward. And we are enjoying finding things to decorate for Halloween outside. Every season has been fun so far in our new house! (Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!)

Fall is one of the best times at our house. We live in southern cali so there isn't to much of a season change here so we go looking for one .. we drive out the the mountains to visit a pumpkin patch that grows giant pumpkins, then head over the the apple orchards in Julian for some apple cider and apple pie. anything with in a reasonable drive we are there to celebrate the season. and watch out for fires :) and of course take lots of pictures

This is my first Fall as an empty nester and I am counting the days until Thanksgiving when all the kids come home to celebrate all the traditions that made them who they are.
