Everything October

I was so excited for October to roll around this year!  So excited that I think I burnt myself out of fall fun and am excited to move on to winter and Christmas! But before we do so I thought I would recap all the fun things that we did this month.  Fall in New York is absolutely wonderful.  It is probably my favorite time of year.  After a hot humid summer we are able to enjoy a few months of the most perfect fall weather!

October 1st was definitely the most beautiful day of the year!  I could not believe how gorgeous it was that day!  I remember walking down to the park with Jayden that day with a permanent smile on my face.  The sun was shining, the air was cool but warm, and it was finally October...the holidays were officially here!!!  That evening we made our favorite homemade chili and cornbread to kick off the season!
