Fall Fun

We have been very busy this fall. Hayley got to go to her very first Clemson game last week. She really loved cheering on the Tigers, which won her several new friends in the seats surrounding us in the stadium. Hayley rode her bicycle in her preschool's Trike-A-Thon and raised money for St. Jude's. She raised the second highest amount of money out of her whole school! A fireman came to Hayley's preschool with his firetruck. She got to climb inside the truck and squirt the hose! Afterward, her class got to make firetruck cookies. We got to go to our church's Fall Festival. Hayley loved playing in the bouncy castle. She got her face painted (on both cheeks!), got a balloon flower, and walked in a cake walk. We took a trip to the Mall of Georgia last week to celebrate my 29th birthday. I can't believe I only have one year left in my 20s! Shouldn't I still be a teenager? Hayley and Andy both found something to buy, and I didn't find anything I wanted to buy. Oh well, maybe I can find something later to use my birthday money on.
Our fall is off to a very fun start, but we still have a lot of fun stuff to look forward to. Next week, we're going with Hayley's class to a Pumpkin Patch. Then, it will soon be time for Trick-or-Treating. Before we know it, we'll be cutting the turkey for Thanksgiving and the Christmas season will officially be here. I'm looking forward to the holiday season, but for now I just want to enjoy all the fun that fall has to offer.
