Essence Of Now – Sunshine and Smiles

After the last two weeks of dreary, rainy weather, the sun finally decided to make an appearance around here. And we took full advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather.

We explored around the pumpkin patch…

And finished our trip to the farm with some warm apple cider donuts…

We were all happy campers that day…

We also played endless rounds of Candyland…

Some of us are still learning to not cheat (ahem)…

Though I am a complete summer girl, this autumn weather has been a welcome change around here.

Let’s hope that the sunshine sticks around for a bit longer. We’re not done having fun yet!

I am a busy mom of four, trying to keep my head above water as I swim through the sea of testosterone that has taken over our house. I'm a coffee addict and book lover. My family is everything to me and I often write about my journey through motherhood. This blog captures those special moments in life. This life isn’t easy. It’s not always full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s hard. It’s a struggle. But it’s MY life. Welcome to it. Don't want to miss a post? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.

    I’m a summer girl too, but sunny autumn days are nice. It is so much fun to attend fall festivals and pumpkin patches with the kids in the fall. I love to see how much they enjoy it.
    Your pictures are beautiful and your boys are so handsome!

  12. I am envious of Fall … but not that evil game that will not be named that has been thrown out of my house on 3 separate times (and my Mom forgets and buys it again)
