Welcome Fall!!!

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love to watch the leaves change color and fall off the trees. I love the color of the mountains. I love the cool weather and the fast approaching holiday season:) Halloween is one of my favorites and we start celebrating ASAP. On October 1st, I took the boys to Gardner Village. There was a serious party going on. We had a ton of fun. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and had to use my crappy phone.



We ate a lot...


Got lost in the hay maze & took a tractor ride...




Visted the Witch's house...





Fun, Fun, Fun!!

The next day, we had my friend Louri and her kids over to decorate trick or treat buckets and cupcakes. I got the idea for these buckets in a magazine. They were easy to make and the kids absolutely LOVED making them. Even my boys! Taylor and Gabbi spent 2 hours on theirs. I got some paint buckets at Wal-Mart. Bought a bunch of different colored felt, some googly eyes, pipe cleaners and foamy stickers. We used hot glue to make it all stick.

Getting things ready...



Hot chocolate and googly eyes...


Creating our masterpieces...

Taylor's and Gabbi's were two faced...Very Creative!

Fall is my fave! And I take it from your last post that Chase is in school now, but wow--you'd be a great teacher! I was just thinking about home-schooling. What a good mom you are!
