Let's Pretend it *Feels* Like Fall

What do you know, the temps around here have FINALLY started to cool off. By cool off I mean we are no longer staring 90-100º temps in the face. We are now sitting comfortably in the mid-80s range. So Fall-ish, wouldn't you say?

Thankfully the weekend is within our grasp, Scott has the day off today (Macke three-day weekend for the win!), and good things are to come.

To the Friday fives we go!

1. This may or may not actually be happening right now.

Day One is in the books. I don't want to get too excited about it, but I will be sharing our progress and details next week.

2. Hopefully I'm not jinxing this by talking about it… But, for the past few weeks Marcus has been going to bed relatively well on his own. He draws out the bed time processes as long as he can (one more story, sing another song, etc. etc.), and takes a few minutes to totally wind down. But, for the most part he's been sleeping through the night with very rare occurrences of middle of the night waking and crying. That's not to say, however, that the 4:30-5:30AM wake up calls are welcome. Because they're not.

The sweetest part of Marcus's sleeps? The fact that he insists on bringing his cars and trucks to bed with him. No stuffed toys for this kid (though we have about 26 stuffed Mickey's to choose), he'll snuggle up with his wheeled toys. Cozy, no?

One can never have too many pictures of their sleeping bebe, right? Right.

3. We have some very fun, very Fall activities lined up for the weekend. To say I'm pumped about it would be a gross understatement. Without sharing too many details - because I'm obviously going to blog about it next week - there may or may not be apples involved.

4. In keeping with the Fall spirit I've been Pinning fall foods like crazy. I hope our weekend family fun (see above) will get me into the kitchen and allow me to flex my baking muscles a bit before weekend's end.

All the things apple!

Obviously this neatly coincides with the Fall Bucket List link up I'm co-hosting with Stephanie and Elizabeth.
