Fall

We have been getting ready for that time of year by making Carmel apples, decorating with pumpkins, planting spring bulbs, and hanging our Halloween calendar and banner. Fall break has already come and gone, and yes we did survive with no t.v. and video games. The boys brought home not so great report cards and so until the grades come up all electronic devices are forbidden. This has been really hard to enforce but it is getting easier with time. However, the boys have spent so much time outside and I don't think our trampoline has ever gotten so much use. It is so funny to see the boys playing the games we use to play on the tramp when we were kids (thank goodness we have a net), and Nick is right in the middle of every game! I got a little crafty and made the Halloween calendar, each day I put a little treat in the pocket for the boys, and this helps Nick count down the days to Halloween. Also, I have always wanted to make banner and so I thought Halloween would be a perfect
time to try to make one, it was super easy!! (love that no-sew glue)
I do have to say that I have the sweetest husband he brought home the flowers in the last picture, "just because" !!!
Ahwwww how sweet !!!
