oh my, oh my!

By now I'm sure I've lost a few followers. What can I say sometimes life just happens and you have to choose where you focus your attention. Obviously that was NOT on my blog. SO lets fast forward past all of that and get reacquainted shall we?

Summer ended, school started. Along with school starting we now are involved with boy scouts, and soccer. And that's just to name a few things. We also now have Homework and daily routines that make the week fly by faster and faster.

Fall will officially be here on Friday. It surely doesn't feel like it's that close. We are still seeing somewhere in the upper 90's for our weather and if you had talked to me last week it was still in the triple digits. YEAH SUCKS! We really don't have traditional fall type weather here normally anyways but the HEAT for so long is killing me, just a tiny bit more, everyday! Come on 80's and 70's!!!!!

Anyways with fall comes some of my FAVORITE activities. Traditionally fall is not my favorite season if you'd have asked me a few years ago I'd have said winter. But I'm beginning to see the beauty in Spring and Fall. Fall Is fantastic because well I was born during this season. HAHAHA. JK JK but seriously yes part of fall's appeal years ago before I started rapidly inching my way to 30 was the fact that My birthday is in the fall. But so is my hubby's :) and my moms, and my brother in laws, and my grandmothers, and my cousins, and my baby brothers. (geesh that's a lot of people with birthdays in October and November huh?)

Another thing is this is Fall is considered ultimate CRAFT season. And NOTHING gets me more excited that staying busy doing Crafty things! Fall Wreaths, homecoming mums, Halloween Costumes, Christmas Wreaths, Christmas Decor, food, Food and More FOOOOOOOD. Want to learn how to make one of the above? yeah thought ya might! Stay tuned. no really stay tuned! ;) I'll show ya how!

Plus fall is the season where my "summer" wardrobe finally can be rested some. I get to mix pants and jackets into my normal monotonous t-shirt and shorts and flip-flops house wife style. Mix that with the fact that we can finally start being outside again and whew yeah Fall just might be my new favorite!
This is from Halloween 2 years ago and yes I made both boys costumes, Dennis the Menaces and Tom Sawyer.

What are some of your favorite fall activities?
