My morning starts at 6:00 AM. I get up, take a shower, get dressed then wake up my dear Solomon with some cartoons. He watches TV for about 30 minutes and at the end of it, he’s wide awake. I’ll dress him and get him his breakfast, wash him up and style his hair…make sure he has all papers signed and a snack. We meet up with my sister-in-law and her girls and we do our walk at about 7:30 AM to school. It takes about 10 minutes to get there. We do this everyday, but today was absolutely gorgeous!! The weather must be in the upper 60’s. If only these temperatures would last for a couple of weeks, at least long enough to wear a sweater through the entire day. Our home is decorated with Fall decor, the aroma is of cinnamon-spiced apple pie and the leaves are falling. Fall is my favorite time of year. That means all the holidays are around the corner. Before I would have dreaded that because all that says is MONEY! No not this year….I choose to look at it as spending time with family and of course when you add food your bound to get fun! I enjoy cooking so I look forward to this time of year. Its that time to start getting all my winner recipes out and buying the ingredients…because God-forbid I find myself at HEB the last minute….you can get trampled you know or even worse, the shelves will be empty!!

Later on in the afternoon, we will be taking the boys to the portrait studio…they can’t wait because they will be in their costumes. I took them yesterday to get their haircuts and they look sharp. Well I gotta go, today we will be surprising Solomon at school for lunch and I have a list full of things I need to do before then. Hope you enjoy this fabulous Thursday morning as I know I will.
