Fall Bucket List




I know fall doesn't officially kick off until September 22, but around my house, as soon as September 1 hits, we live and breathe the beginning of the "Ber" months.

This year, to make sure we don't miss one minute of pumpkin palooza, we came up with our own Fall Bucket List. And, as is our tradition, fall will kick off with the inaugural viewing of my favorite fall movie, You've Got Mail, on my birthday. To say I'm excited would be a colossal understatement.

Did I manage to shop for groceries and household items exclusively at Walmart for 31 days?  Drum roll please..... Almost. Y'all I made it to the very last day. I'm talking Halloween, October 31, dia del fin. I'd purchased all my groceries for the week, including Halloween candy and special Halloween meals (my weekly dinner menu is at the end of this post) . . .  and then we decided last minute to carve pumpkins. No problem, I thought. Surely Walmart will have pumpkins, right? Wrong. Super Walmart: out of pumpkins. Walmart Market: out of pumpkins. Seriously, one day they had pumpkins as in yesterday, Monday, October 30 and the next day gone. All gone. How about Funkins I thought? Uh, nopety nope nope no.  Alas, in my best effort to preserve my status as perfect mom and not disappoint my kiddos  myself, I begrudgingly went to Fry's and purchased pumpkins, of which, point ...
