PTLIF – Praise the Lord, It’s Friday! The Morning Thing 9/18/15

Today, we celebrate PTLIF – Praise the Lord, It’s Friday!
We are getting close to the official start of fall (9/23). In order to help you get the season started off right we found a fall cleaning checklist.

While doing that cleaning, you might wonder how to keep the kids accountable for their chores. We shared how to create a chore chart that works.

There is an exciting event coming to Mount Vernon High School on Saturday night!

We also shared our Morning Thing Fave Five.

The first day of Fall is Wednesday, September 23^rd!
Here is our list of our favorite things about fall!

1. Jenna loves pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin donuts, etc, etc. She basically LOVES pumpkins!
2. Aubrey loves that a lot of bands release CDs in the fall. She especially loves NEW Christmas CDs (which will release in October)!
3. Wesley loves the fall weather. He loves the clear blue skies, the temperature is not hot or cold, it is just right. He also loves that his birthday is in the fall – October 30.
4. Marcy loves Homecoming! For colleges and universities, it is a fun time of reminiscing and connecting with friends. For high schools, it is a time to make memories with a special night shared with friends, a great dinner, fun pictures and really awesome clothes!
5. We all like the FUN that Fall brings – festivals, apple bobbing, hayrides, bonfires, corn mazes, pumpkin carving and asking for candy (for those who are OK with trick or treating).
