The kind of fall I long for

Fall just might be my favorite season.

It's a tough competitor to summer, but you can't beat these crisp fall days we've been enjoying.

Wagon rides.

Pumpkin patch trips.

Driveway playtime.

K-State football games.
Pumpkin spiced lattes.

Impromptu park dates.

Crock pot cooking.

It's exactly the kind of fall I long for.

Fall is a wonderful season, isn't it?

Kansas City just experienced three days of intense rain, but the sun is finally shining today. Just in time for trick or treating tonight.

We're pretty excited to take our little monkey around the neighborhood for the first time. Last year, our not-yet-walking boy just wanted to dump the candy out on the front porch.

This year, he could care less about the costume and candy, and be completely content with a ball.

Soccer ball, "Back-et-ball", any ball really.

The kid loves balls.

He recently decided he doesn't like it when I pull the camera out. iPhone or DSLR, I get the hand if he's not in the mood.

 

Let's hope he lets me get at least one photo of him in his monkey costume tonight.

Scratch that. 

Let's hope he will even wear the monkey costume tonight 

(no such luck all week even getting him to try it on).

Fingers Crossed.
