Signs of Fall

The first Fall Catalog from Lands End showed up in my mailbox yesterday, adorned with cozy jackets, sweaters and hats!
My favorite season, it seems, is just around the corner and I can't wait to experience some crisp, 50 degree days with some jeans and a sweater.

Another sign - school registration time - I registered the kids for school yesterday - Brian for 3rd grade and Erica for 6th grade. I can feel the anticipation to start the new school year, especially for Erica who will be starting Middle school (gasp! How can my little girl be old enough to be in Middle School??). She received her school binder yesterday, along with official PE uniforms (really ugly T- shirt and shorts, a sign that PE uniforms haven't changed from the time I was in Middle school). Her school's mascot is the Jaguar:


School does start a week earlier this year, but I know they are anxious to get back to seeing their classmates and all that makes school fun (even the learning part). I am glad that once they are in school, I won't have to make cold lunches every day....
