The sound of birds chirping in the trees outside my window when I first wake up!

~Talking to my oma and listening to stories about her life

~Going to the pumpkin patch 

~Hide and Seek 

~Sweater paws

~My cat who always does this freaking adorable thing- (we think he is blind but we don't know how to prove it. So if he's standing or walking or something and you call out his name while going to pet him, he'll kinda roll over/collapse on his head and lay with his belly up. He doesn't do it unless we call out something, which is one of the reasons we think he's blind.) It's so cute!!
