I don’t really have a favorite fall activity.  I know sad, but true.  I just like being outside on nice days when it is warm enough to not have to wear a jacket, and not too hot that I am sweating.

Do you follow a football team? If so, which one and why?

I am not a football follower.  I spend the beginnings of fall watching the baseball playoffs, and then the World Series.  It is really the only sport that I watch faithfully, until the Tigers get kicked out then my season is over.

What is something fun about fall in your area?

Someone I used to work with turned me onto Trunk-or-Treat.  If you don’t know what Trunk-or-Treat is, it is when cars back up into a large circle open their decorated trunks up and give out candy to kids in a safe environment.  The fun for the car owners is that the trick-or-treaters vote on their favorite decorated trunk.  I started going to a former co-workers church trunk-or-treat and now go to a local trunk-or-treat at my church/school put on by the PTA.

What are your favorite fall staple outfits?

My staple outfits is basically the same all year round, yoga pants and either a long-sleeve or short-sleeve t-shirt.  Of course in the summer I switch to capris or shorts, but always cotton.  Soon I will be busting out the yoga pants.  (I just ordered 5 more pairs from Old Navy.)

What things are you looking forward to most about this coming fall season?

S is really getting to a fun age, so of course Halloween.  We do quite a few trick-or-treating’s.  We do trunk-or-treat at a local church, business trick-or-treating for little ones uptown, and the favorite, Halloween night trick-or-treating.  The trick is by Halloween night S is so tired of trick-or-treating that we don’t have to go out for long.  I think S is going to have fun going to the orchards and picking apples.  The last time we did this was when he was a baby.  The past few years we have just gotten apples from a local orchard already picked.

What is your favorite fall holiday? Tradition?

I really don’t have a favorite holiday in the fall.  I like Halloween, and Thanksgiving, but they don’t really do anything for me.  I love Christmas, but not actual Christmas.  I like the lead up to it of decorating the house, Christmas lights, cookies, and holiday TV shows.
