What a fun post today, Kris! I love your ten things! Especially anything with pumpkin in it! :)
And thanks for putting in #2, especially since I had some enforced slowness when I went to mail your package today--there was a power outage at the post office!! I will have to mail it in the morning. Oh well!
Blessings, K

I am completely loving fall, although we don't exactly get it the way the rest of the country does. Just under 80 every day is a relief :-).

One of the kids in our park group came as that mushroom/gnome costume, but he was all in one. His head had the mushroom, then his face was a gnome, his stomach had legs sticking out, then mushroom stem to the bottom. It was the cutest cotume ever.
