Fall at our house

Fall is my favorite time of year.  We have been having a great time decorating the house for fall.  All the decorations stay out so much longer than Christmas, so it is my favorite season to decorate for.  I love the colors, smells, food, and weather. Happy Fall Y'all!

Pumpkin Walk

Last Weekend we went to Logan to go to the Pumpkin Walk. This is a tradition we do every year that started when me and Jeff were in College.  All of the scenes are made out of pumpkins and it is free to the public to walk through and enjoy.  It is still so fun to go down to Logan with our family and enjoy the fall, there just isn't anything on earth like Logan in the fall.  Yes....I am a nerd, but I love all the big trees and the crunching sound the leaves make when you step on them. This activity is just an added bonus! It wasn't too cold, and everyone had a great time. Yes...by the way...I did spell pumpkin wrong in the picture Jeff...I closed my program  and didn't want to re-open it, fix it, save it again, start another post...you get the point.

A Halloween Craft? From Me!

So I had to post the craft I just finished.  I seriously love the fall, but for some reason I don't get into Halloween crafts and decorating that much.  Anywho...I have been seeing these fun word crafts at the scrapbook store, and decided I had to make one to get into the spirit of the holiday.  I love to decoupage paper onto anything, so this was just up my alley.  The girl's got to help and loved it, and I have a fun new Halloween craft to display. Hmmmm.....maybe there will be more coming.  We'll see!

Pumkins and porches...two of my favorite things

I have made some more changes to the porch this week.  I love fall. I add a touch of fall everywhere I can.  The kids got to pick their pumkins, and I love putting them out on the porch.  All the flowers are dying, so they add the color that is missing.  I took down my hanging pots and replaced them with my lanterns.  I love having them up in the winter.  They add just that pop I need on my front porch.  I put out some Halloween things as well....the kids had so much fun helping.  I'll post some of those pictures later.  Have a great weekend!

Crazy weather...Happy Fall

Where I live, you just never know how fast the seasons will change. On Tuesday the temperature was in the nineties. I was mowing my lawn, sweating and wanting a popcicle. Not even twenty four hours later, the was freezing temperatures and snow on the ground. Crazy! Hopefully it will warm up a little bit and give us a few more weeks of fall. I went to Logan to Hobby Lobby..sigh...last weekend and got this great frame. I can't wait to find some pictures to go in it, and that perfect place to hang it.
Since it was snowing outside, I decided to put out a few more fall touches to make my home feel like fall, rather than the winter we were having outside.

My one and only Halloween decoration so far. I need to get busy with that. My kids can't wait to carve pumpkins!

A little paint and some rearranging

I had a few minutes the other day and had the desire to play house a bit. I bought these at Hobby Lobby (love that store!) a while ago. I hated the color but they were each a dollar, so I couldn't pass them up. I decided to take them home and paint them. I also found this fun table at Ross. I was going to paint it, but the color goes good with the drapes. I still may get a whim to paint, but for now it is fine.
I didn't like what I had on it, and decided to change things up a bit. I painted the finial and found an old calendar picture I loved. I had an old black frame in my storage room and decided to frame it up.
I found this shelf by the frame and decided to hang it and put my fall sign on it. (I think my old red color on the walls photographed better)
I also decided to add a little fall to my kitchen hutch.
Don't forget the porch. Can't wait to put the pumpkins out! What a fun and relaxing afternoon. Have a great weekend!

Happy Fall Y'all

When the kids are away, moms will play! I have been having a lot of fun putting out all my fall stuff. I love the fall, the colors, the leaves, and the beautiful weather. Nothing makes me happier than decorating my house for fall. I decided to post a few pics to show what I have been up to.

Happy Fall Everyone!
