The leaves are falling. . .

I actually think all the leaves are finally done falling. It is strange how we don't have one single tree in our yard but everyone's leaves. So we made up a tissue paper leaf tree. . .

And I suppose we should get the leaves cleaned up before it snows. It is hard to believe last year at this time we already had 20 in of snow!

Happy Halloween!

We just got done making last minute treats for the neighbor kids. Place 8 sixlet "spider legs" in between 2 black circles ( we used double sided tape) and add some spooky eyes. . .

Pumpkins and Ghosts

Another super fast and easy pumpkin creation. . .

Creepy Crawling Spiders

We needed a craft tonight before dinner and it needed to be a quick one. Preschool Playbook had these cute and simple spiders.

Then I made some popcorn pumpkin balls from Little Nummies for tonight's snack.

Let's get crafty. . .

A few days ago we made these leaves from Ramblings of a Crazy Women. I think they turned out great!

Today, the boys had a day out to the movies and dinner for Mr. P's birthday and I asked Miss A what she wanted to do and she said "Let's get crafty" So, we made cookies. . .
made pumpkins. . .
stamped ghosts with our cookie cutters. . .

and made these cool Pixo necklaces I found at Target. . .

and very long and fun filled day of activities.

Birthday Celebrations

This weekend we tackled 2 birthday parties. On Saturday we had Mr P's 3rd birthday and he requested a "digger" cake.

On Sunday we celebrated my nephew's birthday and Mr P together. My sister baked this awesome cake to incorporate the 2 birthdays.

On the road again. . .

This past weekend we hit the road (another 6+ hour trip - ugh) to my sister-in-laws wedding. Both the kids were in the wedding. Everything turned out wonderful (after a little bribing!)

This week was my nephews birthday. I thought I would make up a pillowcase for the special birthday boy. He is having a "Thomas" birthday. I have had this fabric laying around.

This coming weekend is our last event of the year, Applefest. It is one of my favorites. I love the fall festivals. I am also so glad it is the end!
