It's October

It's finally October! I have always loved the fall and all the festivities that fall brings and now I love the month of October even more since my bay boy was born in October. I can't believe that in 18 days my little man will be one! So in honor of fall I decided to make a little bucket/to do list for the kids and I

- Go to the pumpkin patch

-Go on a hayride
