FALL BUCKET LIST 2023

 

BOO!  Hi Friends!  I thought it would be fun to share my Fall Bucket List with you!  Hey we have all done that in the past right?  Love getting creative ideas from all of you and I get giddy putting together lists like this!

It was fun to look back at some past lists too.  You can check them out here

What's On YOUR Fall Bucket List?

Fall 2022 Bucket List

 

Well friends, I am LATE this year!  I am NEVER LATE- ha!  I didn't want the season to go by, however, without doing a fun little Fall Bucket List like I always do..truth be told, several of our traditions have already taken place but I wanted to share them regardless, because I love looking back at these posts and remembering it all :)

In "normal" years...that would be "not a year with a family wedding" and "not the Clara Nutcracker year" and "not a year with surgery and sickness" and "not the COVID years" you would find this list a bit more robust and aggressive but we are going with the flow and being realistic this year...next year you may find it like more of a "normal" year but I am happy with the way things are right now!

Here it goes.....

Buy pumpkins and decorate our yard (DONE!)

Put up all of the Halloween Decor Inside (DONE!)

 

Host a Hocus Pocus 2 Party (DONE!)

Enjoy a Caramel Apple Martini (DONE- a few times!)

Host Cass and Holly's Annual Risotto Night (DONE!)

Go to The Milford Pumpkin Festival (DONE!)

Attend the Windham Harvest Festival for the 1st Time!

 

Enjoy every minute of Kayla and Marshall's Wedding

 

Trick Or Treating with Friends 

 

(this year we are going with Eva and her friends and parents- will miss my besties but these are the years that are so magical for our little Pidge and we want to make sure she is having a blast)

 

Participate in the Annual Windham Turkey Trot

Enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner OUT this year

 

(we NEVER do this- I LOVE hosting Thanksgiving BUT we were determined to enjoy every minute of Nutcracker and not have to work and host and stress so really looking forward to this- it will be a very different AND special year) :)

 

 

 What's on your fall bucket list?

 

Autumn Weekend Recap!

Wow...what a fun weekend we had!  We squeezed in all the FALL FUN and checked off items on our Fall Bucket List!  Here is what it looked like:

Friday Night

Mama caught up on her DVR....

and then we hunkered down and enjoyed a blissful cozy fall evening as a fam and watched our favorite Halloween movie....Disney's Ichabod Crane And The Headless Horseman (The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow)

Saturday

 We did all the things!  First thing, Lea surprised Diana with the cutest ballet socks...

 and I got dressed for a perfect fall day...

 and then Daddy took Eva to her soccer game- it was cold and rainy and Mama was being a wimp...but I still got the entertainment when Rob sent me some pics...the girls standing around, talking and joking and when Rob asked Eva what she was doing, she said, "we are having our coffee!" Out of the mouths of babes- ha ha!!

Diana and I ran some errands and also had a "Starbucks Date"

On the drive home, I had to snap a few pics of the beautiful foliage- it really popped this weekend!

Later on, it was time for Nutcracker rehearsals and Mama snuck out to meet some besties to go to our favorite wine store AND meet one of our favorite famous winemakers- David of Michael David wines- we had a blast and stocked up on some of our faves...such a cool event..they were even raffling off this Freakshow Bike!

After that, my parents met up with me and we headed to the studio to pick up Diana from rehearsal and then head to one of our favorite annual fall events- The Milford Pumpkin Festival

We always start with dinner at The Pasta Loft and then we walk around, play games, grab gadgets and look at the Jack O Lanterns...we all agreed that there were not enough pumpkins this year but we still had a great night!

More gorgeous foliage...

and while we were there, Daddy was having the time of his life at the Boston Bruins Season Opener- thanks to his friend Gary, the guys had an awesome night at dinner and the game.....

and he also paid a visit to my cousin of course :)

Sunday

It was time for mass and some organization and then more fall fun as we all headed over to Canobie Lake Park for the Oktoberfest during the day AND Screamfest at night!

Laurel and her "Beer Glove" -hysterical- #Oktoberfestnecessity 

 and all the Screamfest Spookiness at Night!

Monday

 Yesterday, Mama worked and the kids played....and Daddy got lots of leaves out of the yard!  It was a beautiful Fall Day and we even snuck in a school project for Pidge AND some coziness :)

 I made a Healthy Pumpkin Chili for dinner (will share the recipe soon AND yes it was only for the adults- my girls unfortunately would never try it)

After dinner, we headed right outside for an amazing power walk with more incredible foliage!

Last night, Eva got her first pledge for a big fundraiser we are doing at her school....thank you Miss Jeanine!

That's a wrap- hope you had a great weekend too!
