chilly days are here to stay...

I know some people hate the chilly weather that comes around in the Fall, but I secretly love it. No, I don't want it to come before it's time...it can stay away until late October, early November....but it helps us slow down. We spend more time together as a family. We start playing games again. Hang out in Vance's shop...or used to, before it became a giant litter box! We watch movies, bake cookies, and paint fingernails. So, although I love Summer and all the fun it brings, it is nice to relax a little, just be a family. Even though the weekends seem to fill up more quickly, with holiday celebrations and birthday, we still have every evening after work. The only "activity" my children are in right now is Emma dances on Mondays and both of them are in Awana on Wednesdays. It feels like such a sinful delight to be home Tuesday and Thursday evening. I love how God made seasons for us, in which we could have time to recuperate and revive ourselves. I can't imagine living in a place that didn't have all 4 seasons. I deeply need them all.
What do you do differently in the fall....?
