Fall Bucket List


Happy October!  With the change of season and finally having some routine back in our life, I thought it would be fun to make a fall bucket list.  We love having things to look forward to and our kids are at such fun ages right now for all the seasonal things.  Here's 10 things we can't wait to do this fall...


  • Pumpkin everything :) - visit every pumpkin patch, carve pumpkins, and bake a few new pumpkin recipes
  • Daddy daughter date to a local high school football game - Eric and Addie did this last year and she loved it!  She was mesmerized by the whole Friday night football atmosphere and it's a fun little tradition for them.  Bella and Noah aren't crazy about loud noises quite yet, so they may have to wait a few more years.
  • Busch Gardens Halloween - They have a cute kids' themed Halloween event that we want to try out this year. 
  • Paint pumpkins - This is the perfect theme for a fun play date with our buddies.  A little messy, but lots of fun. 
  • Family Friday's - We are in the middle of Eric's busy season so the girls count down to the weekend every day.  We just finished our new movie room so we are looking forward to family movie nights and lots of popcorn.  
  • Outer Banks trip - We always join Eric for a work trip and this year will be extra fun since the Hendry's are coming too!  I love the beach at this time of year and can't wait to do all of our favorite things. 
  • Boo your neighbors - I absolutely love our new neighborhood, so the girls and I want to share some yummy treats with our new neighbors :)
  • Curl up with a good book and a homemade pumpkin spiced latte - My friends and I are starting a book club and I'm excited to get back into reading.  It's so relaxing, especially on a cool, fall day.
  • Watch an outdoor movie - As the nights get darker and cooler, I thought this would be a fun new activity to try out with our new neighborhood buddies. 
  • Bike ride/scooter at the boardwalk - Our girls are bike/scooter obsessed these days!  I can't wait to have a change of scenery and try out their favorite activity with a pretty backdrop.
I hope you and your families enjoy as many fun, fall activities as we will this season!!!
