Re: All things Fall
What is your favorite Fall Activity?
Apple/Pumpkin picking (New England style)
Do you have a Halloween Costume picked out?
No, last year I was a pirate. I have to think of something for our work party.
Do you decorate your house for the seasons?
Sometimes, definitely for Christmas. For Fall we usually carve pumpkins etc. I might make something for our front door since we're not in a apartment building anymore.
Do you have any big plans this Fall (doesn't have to be fall related)?
Yes, I am going to Ontario for 5 days for Canadian Thanksgiving (US Columbus Day) and my family is driving up from NH including both sets of parents/grandparents! I can't wait to see them and my in-laws, we haven't seen any family members since our wedding. DH has a game that weekend in his hometown which is really exciting. I have never been to one of his hometown games, apparently he is quite the local boy/celebrity. I have been looking forward to this weekend since February when the football schedule came out!
What is your favorite Fall food item to make or eat?
Pumpkin Seeds/ Apple Cider Donuts/ Pies

What is your favorite Fall Activity? Definitely carving pumpkins! Last year we did the Philadelphia Phillies logo as they were playing in the play-offs/World Series!
Do you have a Halloween Costume picked out? Nope. I haven't really dressed up for Halloween since high school. I'm also kind of hoping that we don't get any trick-or-treaters.
Do you decorate your house for the seasons? We only decorate for the holidays (Christmas and Chanukah). I really don't like lots of little trinkets around the house so I try to avoid seasonal decorations. I'd like to put carved pumpkins out on our front steps, but I'm afraid the crazy lady from across the street's random cats will destroy them.
Do you have any big plans this Fall (doesn't have to be fall related)? No big plans. I really want to find a pumpkin patch, hayride, corn maze, etc... typical fall things to do this year.
What is your favorite Fall food item to make or eat? I love roasting pumpkin seeds and drinking egg nog!
PS... to further my excitement for fall, I just got a new North Face jacket. Yes, I know it's kind of "college" but my last one got stolen at a hotel I was at for work-purposes and I was really upset. If you're interested, Macy's is offering 20% off North Face and Coach between today and Sunday. There usually is never a discount on these items but thought I'd give you a little PSA if you're interested!
What is your favorite Fall Activity?
Pumpkin carving. H had never carved a pumpkin before we started dating and now he enjoys the creativity and competition. I can't imagine a year without carving a pumpkin!
Do you have a Halloween Costume picked out?
Our neighbors next door are having an adults-only must-wear-costume party. We're going as Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Cat in the Hat). Wigs have arrived and jumpsuits have been ordered!
Do you decorate your house for the seasons?
My mom decorated for EVERY holiday. Even the ones we didn't really celebrate like Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day. I mostly decorate for the fall holidays and occasionally Valentine's day too. H thought I was nutso the first time I pulled out Thanksgiving decorations but now I think he secretly loves that I enjoy having them around.
Do you have any big plans this Fall (doesn't have to be fall related)?
We're heading to NorCal next weekend for my cousin's wedding. It's going to be a whirlwind trip and a TON of driving but will be fun anyway. I'm excited to see my family!
and as a side note... Today is the first day DH is back to work! Yipee! I'm a little sad. Sitting here at home without him feels... awkward. He's super happy to be back at work - even begging the doctor to let him back this week instead of next.
