A change, a end, a new

A change of season brings excitement but, can also be sad. I look forward to some cooler temperatures. I can't wait to do some fall yard work, let the kids decorate for Halloween, and attend some fall festivals. It's sad to know summer is fading away and we will miss our beach trips and time in the pool.

This weekend we tried to pack alot of activities in. We gathered up baby stuff and sold at the yard sale. Yes that was sad, I had to say bye to my children being babies. We grilled and my son associated grilling with putting the tent up. He kept asking aren't we putting the tent up? We went fishing with our boat and my oldest son had lots of fun there. The smallest one enjoyed stroller rides with his nanna. We also made pear tarts and they were good.

I did the recipe to the best of my memory. I made my dough like biscuits with a little sugar in it and then used the rolling pin to thin them out. Adding my cooked pears in the center and used a fork to close the edges. Then fried them and my son sprinkled with sugar.

I knew it had to go someday.....

First yard sale I've had in years and it was perfect weather. The cooler weather from the storm moving up the east coast. Time with my mom, little a break from home & kids, and meet some interesting people. I made a little spending cash and cleared out a lot of clutter.

When the bassinet was bought, I almost cried. It was the first thing my baby slept in, with his apnea monitor and blue light for jaundice. I did sell the exerciser trampoline that sent my son to the ER good residence to it. It  was real emotion saying good bye to my children baby items, I've been hanging on to them, and my husband told me you need to let them go your cluttering the house and becoming a hoarder. I knew it had to go someday......
