You Know It's Fall When -

• There's that smell in the air, and I don't mean little boy's pee
• I'm frantically searching for everyone's jackets
• The Zustiaks have fans in their windows
• I'm instantly cheerier, even when it's overcast (what I mean was BECAUSE it's overcast!)
• I'm counting down the soccer games LEFT
• I'm sad each time I slide on my flip-flops, thinking that their days are numbered
• Flynn tells everyone, "It's almost Fall! That means, after that, it's WINTER. And winter has CHRISTMAS. AND THE GIRLS ARE COMING HOME AT CHRISTMAS!!!"
• Flynn has lined out, her costume for the next THREE HALLOWEENS
• On the shelf at Dierbergs, candy corn is strategically shelved RIGHT NEXT to the peanuts
• Suddenly, I'm not the only fan of orange with brown
