it really feels like fall. this is pretty unusual for north carolina. its usually still in the 80's & sunny. the past couple of days though have only been in the 60's & the sun is struggling to come out today. but at least its not raining! today is monday, so its back to work we go. i've talked to jeremy a couple times today & work is slow for him at the bank today as it is for me at brytons everyday. that makes the day creep slowly by. after my busy weekend, i guess i should be thankful for having a slow job, but i'm not. i guess i should work on that.
this cool weather has me wanting to sip on chai or pumpkin spice lattes and eat warm, hearty food. not too good for the waistline. i guess i should also be thankful that while i'm at work, i'm stuck here & can't binge on either of those things. ;) the weather has also made me take a look at rivers' closet & take note of what we have & what we need for fall & winter in terms of clothing. courtney is always more than generous & shares all of jackson's old clothes with us. we have a good deal of long sleeve shirts & a few pants, but we are in need of new shoes. i think i'll be going out tonight to find rivers some cute fall shoes. of course, i want to keep up with the converse tradition. he's had a pair of converse tennis shoes since birth & i happen to think nothing is cuter than a little boy in converse! i'm hoping to get a pair of those, along with another pair that will be easier to slip on & off. the only problem with the converse is that they require tieing! i'm also in the market for a new pair of brown shoes for myself. i've been window shopping online today, but haven't found quite what i'm looking for. i wish i could shop online for rivers too, but i'm afraid i'm not sure what size to buy him. i think it best to take him with me & try on shoes with a pair of socks to be sure they will fit & be comfortable for him to walk in. wish me luck tonight - shoe shopping with/for a 2 year old could go well, or horribly wrong!
as a side note - i had some warm, cooked apples at the wedding this past weekend that were so yummy & were the definition of fall! i've been teetering between making some for myself & thinking i've lost my mind. i'll let you know if i decide to find & try a recipe. same scenario - could go well, or horribly wrong! with my martha stewart skills, it will probably be the latter of the two, but i'll keep you updated!
happy fall friends, family, and blog stalkers! :)
